Hi,

We have done some integration with an external authentication mechanism in hippo (based on Jass).

Basically we secured the "/login" url-pattern and a Tomcat valve is responsible to authenticate via an external idp.

It works, now we need a custom logout.

I tried to a add this to the web.xml :

<servlet-name>Logout</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>be.smals.famhp.servlet.LogoutServlet</servlet-class>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>Logout</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/logout</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

but when accessing /site/logout it just ignore the servlet and return a 404, is it because of the hst filter ? how can i make a custom servlet works ?

thank you

I just realize i had to map eveything with hst right ?

So i created a sitemapitem "logout" that points to a custom "LogoutComponent" and in the component :

@Override
    public void doBeforeRender(HstRequest request, HstResponse response) {
        try {
            System.out.println("Logging out ...");
            request.logout();
        } catch (ServletException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        HstResponseUtils.sendRedirect(request, response, "/");
    }
