### 12.10.4. Terminating Federation of Persistently Linked Accounts

OpenAM lets you terminate account federation, where the accounts have been linked with a persistent identifier as described in Section 12.10.2, “Using Persistent Federation Identifiers”.

The examples below work in an environment where the identity provider is `www.idp.example` and the service provider is `www.sp.example`. Both providers have deployed OpenAM on port 8080 under deployment URI `/openam`.

To initiate the process of terminating account federation from the service provider, access the following URL with at least the query parameters shown.

    http://www.sp.example:8080/openam/saml2/jsp/spMNIRequestInit.jsp?
     idpEntityID=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.idp.example%3A8080%2Fopenam
     &metaAlias=/sp
     &requestType=Terminate
