Local fix
A client can maintain cookie state (like browsers). If a client doesn't maintain a cookie state, there is no reason to invoke logout at ibm_security_logout.
Problem summary
This message is logged frequently because a problem occurs with an extension that removes browser cookies upon logout. The code tries to iterate through a list of cookies and remove some references that are related to sessions in Business Automation Workflow. When a client that doesn't maintain cookies invokes logout, you see a NullPointerException. PRODUCTS AFFECTED IBM Business Process Manager IBM Business Automation Workflow
Problem conclusion
A fix is available or will be available that ensures cookies are present before trying to remove them.
