Using your Mobile Device with BannerWeb-Student

I get a blue screen with SAML logout successful. What does that mean?
There could be two reasons that you are receiving this error. The first reason is that you have timed out of the session you were previously logged into. BannerWeb has a timeout set at 120 minutes. After 120 minutes of inactivity you will be automatically signed out. The second reason could be that you have an active session that is trying to use a different SAML token competing against the current login. Only one BannerWeb session should be logged into at once if you are on a mobile device. Please follow the steps below to assist with resolving the log in issue.

Exit out of all BannerWeb pages from your mobile device
   Note: you will need to exit/close the web browser before continuing to the following steps.
