Abstract
A method and apparatus for single sign-out from one or more application servers in a distributed computing environment. A user accesses at least one second application server via a first application server. The user is able to sign-out from all the application servers to which he is connected via the first application server by signing out of any one of the signed in application servers. The single sign out procedure ensures the user does not inadvertently remain signed into the application servers when the user does not explicitly sign out of each signed in application server.
