Logout Redirect Issue in Helical Insight 6.0 (Browser vs AJAX Behavior)

Technical queries

#1

Hello,

We are using open source BI Helical Insight version 6.1.0.694 GA (Docker version). Why does the logout behavior differ when accessing /logout directly from the browser versus when it is triggered through AJAX in JWT HTML, leading to inconsistent redirection after logout?

Thank You,
Netta.

Hello Netta,

This issue occurs because /logout behaves differently for browser requests and AJAX calls in JWT HTML. The browser redirects to /index, while AJAX does not handle the redirect properly. This happens due to the LogoutSuccessHandler in spring-security.xml being configured to /loginBody To fix this, change the redirect path to / and restart the application for consistent logout behavior.

spring-security.xml file path is /opt/Helical694_61GA/hi/hi-ee/WEB-INF/classes

Default config :

Restart Helical Insight and test the changes, it should work fine.

Thank You,
Helical Insight.
