Unloading authentication information from the session

The Actuate JavaScript API keeps authentication information encrypted in the session. To remove this information from the session, use actuate.logout( ). Use logout( ) as shown in the following code:

actuate.logout(serviceurl, null, callback, errorcallback);

where

serviceurl is a URL for the Actuate web application service to log out from. This URL must correspond to an Actuate Deployment Kit for BIRT Reports or Information Console application.

null specifies the default settings for RequestOptions that are provided by the connected Actuate web application. RequestOptions sets custom or additional URL parameters for the request. To use custom or additional URL parameters, construct an actuate.RequestOptions object, assign the specific values to the object, and put the object into the custom or additional URL parameter.

callback is a function to call after logout( ) completes.

errorcallback is a function to call when an exception occurs.

After logout( ) finishes, the authentication for the serviceurl is removed. Authenticate again to establish a secure connection.
