If both systems support logging out via simply following a link (i.e. you
can log out via GET), then you can have your unitary logout button/link
take the user to a page that loads the two logout pages in iframes:

<iframe src="https://[openathens.logout.url <https://openathens.logout.url>]"
style="display: none;"></iframe>
<iframe src="https://[azure.logout.url]" style="display: none;"></iframe>

The `display:none` part is optional as far as the logout functionality
goes, but it is probably less confusing for the users.
