Overview

In a previous post I show how to use Component Space to add SAML support to the Web Client, here I add a sign-out button.

Steps

useADFS == true

Set useADFS to true in hprmServiceAPI.config, for example:

<setup databaseId="J1"  searchAhead="false" advancedSearch="false" workpath="C:\HP Records Manager\ServiceAPIWorkpath\Uploads" useADFS="true"/>

Setup signing certificate

If you plan to sign your logout request then you will need a certificate, either encrypt the password or store the certificate in the Windows certificate store as described in this Component Space document.

Add keep-alive

To allow for notification when the user's session has expired add the keep alive loop.  To do this edit _Initialisation.cshtml (or _Shared.cshtml in later versions) and comment out the RMStayALive function, then add this new version:

var RMStayALive2 = function () {
    var makeRequest = function () {
        $.getJSON(HP.HPTRIM.TrimClient.getServiceAPIUrl() + "/Location/me", function (data, status, xhr) {
                
        }).fail(function () { 
            if (confirm("Your session has expired, do you wish to re-authenticate?")) {
                top.location = HPRMWebConfig.virtualDirectory;
            }
            
        });
    }
    setInterval(makeRequest, (60 * 1000));

}();
