Sign users out of Okta

Sign users out of Okta by ending their session on the Okta Authorization Server.

The @okta/oidc-middleware package autogenerates a /logout route for you. Send a POST request to /logout:

<form method="post" action="/logout">
  <button id="logout-button" type="submit">Logout</button>
</form>

If you prefer to handle this yourself, you can define a route which invokes the oidc.forceLogoutAndRevoke() method:

app.post('/forces-logout', oidc.forceLogoutAndRevoke(), (req, res) => {
  // Nothing here will execute, after the redirects the user will end up wherever the `routes.logoutCallback.afterCallback` specifies (default `/`)
});

Next: Sign users out of your app
