How do I logout in Sakai so that DistAuth cookies are deleted?
During normal logout in Sakai, only the Sakai session information is cleared. To ensure that the DistAuth cookies are deleted also, one must modify the LoginTool.java file in the sakai-2-0-1-src\login\login\src\java\org\sakaiproject\tool\login directory. An additional parameter can be added to the sakai.properties file so that the logout url is correctly referenced.
Steps involved, for Sakai 2.1.x
1. Apply the BasicConfigurationService patch that Jon G made, located at: https://mware.ucdavis.edu/svn/ucdsakai/branches/archive/sakai-2-1-x/legacy.diff
to the root of sakai-src, so that the logout functionality will clear the cookies.
