Need a logout API for all components of CP4BA to programatically logoff a given user.

Customer is using IBM Verify for Authentication and Authorization. They are using SSO. They need to provide a global logout option, when the user clicks on this global logout, the user should be logged off from all the applications, including all the screens of CP4BA (including the BAW and ODM pages). 

This API should take user_id as the parameter.

This is also required for the super-admin of the customer organization to logout a given user from all applications, for security purpose (in case it is found that the user's activity is harmful for the organization or their customers).

We did suggest to deactivate the account in Verify / LDAP. Customer point is, they will deactivate the account, but the user can still continue harmful activities till his / her session lasts. They need the API for logging off the user which will take user_id as the parameter.

    This is a critical ask by the Bank. If they identify an authorized user doing malicious activities, the admin needs to logoff the user immediately.
    This API will provide them to develop application around it to logoff the user from all possible CP4BA applications in one go.
    Please reconsider this request.

    Hi Team,


    We opened a ticket #TS020172386 to discuss this point, as it was reported from Egypt CBE Bank By (InovaSys Company)

    Each CPB4A component will have its own OIDC session and client credentials, there isn't a single logout that is able to identify all the OIDC sessions and sign them off. This is a specific customer ask and currently we are not able to prioritise this given our other commitments.

    We recently provided support for SAML Single Logout which ends the session at the CloudPak and IDP side. But this does not meet the customer's requirement for LDAP using Verify.
