When you are
finished using the portal, you should log off in order to close your
portal session. Logging off is important for the following reasons:
-
If you are no longer using the
portal but haven't logged off, your portal session continues to use
system resources until the session expires. When you log off, these
resources become available for other applications to use. Your portal
session continues until the session expires even if you
close the browser window without logging off the portal.
-
If you go to another URL without
logging off, your portal logon could remain in effect. This means
that until your portal session times out, you can bring up your personal
portal again without re-entering your user name and password.
Follow
