In custom Masthead logoff functionality is not working properly

Question

Hi ,
We have customized Masthead based on standard SAP par  “com.freescale.navigation.masthead"
I am explaining issue with example.
1)     User logon to Portal.
2)     He is under “System Administrator -> Support” page.
3)     He press “Sign Out” link which is provided in custom masthead.
4)     User log off from the portal.
5)     But Address bar is showing following URL
6)     “https://(portal-server) /irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/administrator/system_admin/system_admin_role/com.sap.portal.system_admin_ws/com.sap.portal.support/com.sap.portal.support_desk ”
7) Ie. When user again Log on he directly jumps to the
“System Administrator -> Support” page.
I want to remove the NavigationTarget part from the address bar when user Log Off. So that when user logon again he should able to see the default role after log on.
HeaderView.jsp is having following code :
For “Sign Out” link , I am calling Javascript function. openLogoffMsg()
function openLogoffMsg()
<%if (!isPreview){%>
    if (EPCM.getUAType() == EPCM.MSIE)
        var val = window.showModalDialog('<%=GetLogoffConfirmMsgURL(componentRequest)%>', '', '<%=LOGOFF_CONFIRM_MSG_ARGS_IE%>');
        if (val == 'logoff')
           logoff();
    else
        window.open('<%=GetLogoffConfirmMsgURL(componentRequest)%>', '<%=LOGOFF_CONFIRM_WINDOW_NAME%>', '<%=LOGOFF_CONFIRM_MSG_ARGS_NS%>');
<%}%>
function logoff()
    EPCM.raiseEvent("urn:com.sapportals.portal:user", "logoff", "");
    document.forms["logoffForm"].submit();
<form name="logoffForm" style="display:none" action="<%=GetLogoffURL(componentRequest)%>" method="POST">
     <input type="hidden" name="logout_submit" value="true"></input>
</form>
private String GetLogoffURL(IPortalComponentRequest request)
    IPortalComponentURI logoffURI = request.createPortalComponentURI();
    return logoffURI.toString();
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Shrikant,
In masthead par file there is LogInRedirect.jsp which is responsible for getting logon URL and display logon page back in browser after logoff is done. This jsp inturn calls getPortalURL function. This function is present in logon par file (umLogoffPage.jsp). If you have made changes in logon par file make sure that this jsp has that function.
Have a look at these two par files and make sure these functions are these.
