2906646 - SSO users are not logged out of SuccessFactors session after closing the browser

Symptom

  • Users close the browser and when they open it again, they are still logged into their account
  • All users are SSO-enabled
  • The SSO they're using is SP-initiated

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Enter the SuccessFactors instance via SSO
  2. Once inside the instance, close out the browser
  3. Open the browser again > account is still logged in

Cause

This is an expected behavior for SP-initiated SSO logins. 

SP-initiated SSO stores the credentials and account in the browser cache and cookies, which is why the users will always be logged into their accounts within the browser

Resolution

There is no forced logout, unless the user logs out manually.

User can also clear browser cache and cookies to delete the session.
