Oracle Access Manager (OAM) Federated Authentication Looping After Logging Out of a Different OAM Environment (Doc ID 3009125.1)

Symptoms

When attempting to access an OAM environment using federated authentication where OAM is the Service Provider (SP) after logging out of a separate environment using federated authentication, the browser repeatedly authenticates with the federated Identity Provider and eventually reports that the user has reached the maximum number of OAM sessions in the browser.  Note that a similar behavior could potentially occur in a non-federated environment but in that case it would likely result in looping between the webgate protected URL and the OAM managed server's obrareq.cgi endpoint (without reaching maximum sessions).
