Pedro Igor created ELY-904: ------------------------------ Summary: Logout support for HTTP-based authentication mechanisms Key: ELY-904 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ELY-904 Project: WildFly Elytron Issue Type: Enhancement Components: HTTP Affects Versions: 1.1.0.Beta21 Reporter: Pedro Igor Assignee: Pedro Igor I think it makes sense to also allow HTTP mechanisms to handle logouts. Logout is tightly related with authentication and mechanisms should be able to act properly during logout requests. Although only a few set of mechanisms support logout, I think adding a default method {{org.wildfly.security.http.HttpServerAuthenticationMechanism#logout}} will make our API even more complete and capable of supporting more use cases. The main use case for this enhancement is programmatic logout. In this case, logout can be triggered from inside an application which in turn delegates the logout logic to the mechanism that authenticated an user. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
