Symptoms

In forms server machine, Inside $FORMS_HOME/java folder :

Open a new text file and add text - "SSO LOGGED OUT" and Save it with name "ssologout.html"  or If the server machine is Linux, create the same in Windows machine and copy it as said above.

In Client machine, clear your Java cache, Browser Cache and then download the frmsal.jar from the server machine to client by executing the following in client browser:

http://<hostname>:<WLS_Forms_port>/forms/java/frmsal.jar

1. In the client machine , open Command prompt :

  a) Set Java to PATH
  b) Goto to the folder where frmsal.jar is downloaded and execute :

java -jar frmsal.jar -url "http://<hostname>:<OHSport>/forms/frmservlet?config=standaloneapp"

2. This will open OAM SSO login page :

Login with forms user which is registered in OAM

3. Test.fmx displayed.

4. Now open a different browser and execute :

http://<hostname>:<oamport>/oamconsole

Login with OAM user

5. Click on Session Management and provide * as value in 'User ID - Starts With' and click on Search button.
Forms active session can be seen.

6. Go back to test.fmx output, and click on Exit Button.

7. Go to OAM page again and just click on Search button.
You can still see the session entry present, which has to be cleared.

The same when executed without FSAL ie., with browser, when you click on Exit button in forms and
check the Session management page, the forms active session is cleared automatically.

This happens only with FSAL type of execution.
