Hello
I'm running WAS 6.1.0.5.
The stack trace below comes up when trying to log out of the application.
I don't have any problems on WAS 5.1.
Thank you for any help.

</table>
<input type=hidden name=logoutExitPage value=/html/login.html></for

Hi,

I just tried it on 6.1.0.5 and it works fine for me. You may want to try the
 example I am including on the IBM Forum on DeveloperWorks.  It is a simple 
test to logon and logoff.

Thank you Brian.
The example you gave produced the same error.
j_security_check works fine although the session never terminates even after
 closing IE.

Hi, You will have to open a problem report with IBM to solve this one.

Thanks for your suggestion Brian.
One other odd thing is that the ibm_security_logout works fine in the Admin 
Console.
Is the ibm_security_logout something that can be defined when installing a n
ew application?

[ Post a follow-up to this message ]

Hi, There is no way I know of to define the security logout besides the way 
it is currently implemented.

This ended up being something wrong with the security on Web Sphere.
We had it enabled at the server level but not the Web Sphere level.
After turning it on at the Web Sphere level the app was able to use ibm_secu
rity_logout.
