This page describes how to customise the destination of the logout page, for integration with a Single Sign On framework.

To configure a new logout, redirect by changing the way Confluence handles the logout action:

1. Shutdown Confluence
2. un-jar the confluence-x.y.z.jar (or com.atlassian.confluence_confluence-x.y.z.jar) file in $confluence-install/confluence/WEB-INF/lib, to another location. You can use a standard zip application or the java -jar command 
   Alternative to un-jar-ing, edit the xwork.xml/struts.xml directly in the jar file
3. Locate xwork.xml
   1. For Confluence 8.0.0+, locate the file struts.xml 

4. Change the behavior of logout.action by altering these lines:

   <!-- <result name="success" type="velocity">/logout.vm</result> -->
   <!-- CAS:START - CAS Logout Redirect -->
   <result name="success" type="redirect">https://cas.institution.edu/cas/logout</result>
   <!-- CAS:END -->
   

   Newer versions will need to be changed as such:

   From

           <action name="logout" class="com.atlassian.confluence.user.actions.LogoutAction">
               <interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"/>
               <result name="error" type="velocity">/logout.vm</result>
               <result name="success" type="redirect">${logoutUrl}</result>
           </action>

   TO

            <action name="logout" class="com.atlassian.confluence.user.actions.LogoutAction">
               <interceptor-ref name="defaultStack"/>
               <result name="error" type="velocity">/logout.vm</result>
               <result name="success" type="redirect">https://your.new.logout.url</result>
           </action>

5. Re-jar the files if you extracted them in Step 1
6. Start Confluence
