Log on and log off behavior
When using a single sign-on system, the normal authentication behavior is altered. The practice of logging on when you start a product is automatically performed when the second product is started. This change happens without any user involvement.
When you log off, you are logged off of all BMC Atrium Single Sign-On integrated products.
If you want to continue working with other BMC products:
- Quit the product instead of logging out of BMC Atrium Single Sign-On.
- If the product supports application-only log off, log off the application and close the browser.
With web applications, the BMC Atrium Single Sign-On authentication status is maintained through sessions within the web browsers. When web applications share the same browser session, the authentication state with BMC Atrium Single Sign-On is shared by these applications.
To use a different login ID without logging off BMC Atrium Single Sign-On, you must start a new session in the web browser. The following table summarizes how to share current sessions and how to create new sessions with the browsers supported by BMC Atrium Single Sign-On.
Session behavior in supported browsers
When BMC products launch a new application, the applications use the process needed to ensure a shared session and a seamless experience.
