Logout element flavours

Logout elements can either use an intermediate confirmation response page that's provided through a template, or integrate invisibly in the application's workflow with an automated return to the origin thanks to snapbacks.

To use the element with an intermediate logout confirmation page, you use

rife/logout/template/memory.xml

and

rife/logout/template/database.xml

The pass-through element is available through

rife/logout/passthrough/memory.xml

and

rife/logout/passthrough/database.xml

Configuring the logout elements

The database flavours require a "datasource" property, like this:

<element file="rife/logout/template/database.xml" id="logout" url="logout">
  <property name="datasource"><config param="USERS_DATASOURCE"/></property>
  <!-- ... -->
</element>

The template flavours require a template_name property, which is the path of a template to print. You must also specify a authvar_name (like "authid") and authvar_type (like "input" or "cookie"). You may also specify a template_type (like "xhtml").

The passthrough flavours exit to a logged_out exit, so you should specify a flowlink for this exit.

Departures To make sure that all global variables are reset after logging out, you can use departures.
