OK, thank you. 

Well stianst, it is a bad hack but I am getting the callback from keycloak
to my server. I receive the {Admin URL}/k_logout call. Why doesn't it
invalidate the token as well? When I tried the browser redirect login it did
logged me out of the app and I had to login again in browser to access
secured pages but I still could use the token anyway. The token was not
invalidated.
