      Given:

      • EAP instance EAP1 with PicketLink SP1
      • EAP instance EAP2 with PicketLink SP2
      • EAP instance EAP3 with distributable PicketLink IdP
      • EAP instance EAP4 with distributable PicketLink IdP
      • no load balancer to simplify the test case
      • SP1 targets IdP @ EAP3 (set in picketlink.xml config)
      • SP2 targets IdP @ EAP4 (set in picketlink.xml config)

      Procedure:
      When user requests SP1, then user should be redirected to IdP @ EAP3, and IdP shoud prompt user to log in. [OK]
      When user logs in to IdP @ EAP3, then IdP should redirect user back to SP1, and SP1 should return index page (user should be logged in to SP1). [OK]
      When user requests SP2, then user should be redirected to IdP @ EAP4, and then user should be redirected back to SP2, and SP2 should return index page (user should be logged in to SP2). [OK]
      When user user requests Global Logout on SP1, then user should be logged out from SP1, SP2, and IdP. [FAILURE]

      • user is logged out from SP1 and IdP (@ both EAP3 and EAP4), but not from SP2 – GLO workflow miss SP2

      Single Logout (Global Logout, GLO) does not fully work on distributable PicketLink IdP under certain circumstances – in case user uses (or is forced to use) different nodes with IdP for logging in and/or logging out to/from SPs (e.g. no sticky sessions, or a node failure), user can remain logged in at several service providers.

      The issue may cause instability to a PL deployment where IdPs are distributed across different nodes/instances.

      SAML2LogOutHandler uses IdentityServer structure stored in ServletContext – IdentityServer is not replicated/shared between instances. Thus, the list of participants is limited to the IdP where the logout was sent to.
