Because I don't know anything about SAML logout... :) Is there a good
place to read about it without wasting too much time?

I guess this would mean that the IDP would have to store which SPs
requested the attributes of which users and sending those SPs some
logout messages with the correct NameID?

And what are application notifications? A way to deal with applications
sessions? How do we use it?

Thanks,
