SAML auth logs out when closing launched portals
Summary
In Pega 7.2.1, SAML authentication logs out the requestor when closing a portal launched from Designer Studio. It should only close the launched portal and stop the OpenPortal thread. The code in step 11 of the Code-Security.SAMLSingleLogOff activity that checks for the OpenPortal thread is too late in the Activity to do anything meaningful. It should probably be in step 1, or the Code-Security.Logoff Activity should do this check before calling SAMLSingleLogOff in step 1 altogether and run down to step 4 of Logoff instead. Or something along those lines.

Steps to Reproduce
- Configure SAML authentication on a system
