Ok, that makes sense. I am still trying to figure out how k_logout should work on my end. I do have the keycloak modules installed on the server running my app. However, I still get a value of false in logoutApplication: Response response = client.target(managementUrl).path(AdapterConstants.K_LOGOUT).request().post(Entity.text(token)); boolean success = response.getStatus() == 204; The success Boolean is false. I set the Admin url to some path with "admin" but I do not have a REST service at any location for .../admin/.../k_logout. Am I supposed to do something on my end or should the keycloak modules have automatically set something up that understands how to handle a request to something like .../admin/.../k_logout? I just would have liked to make all of this a bit easier. Why can't I create some REST service on my end that calls something like: KeycloakSecurityContext.logout(); Under the covers KeycloakSecurityContext.logout() builds the logout uri, sends the request to the keycloak server and finally logs me out of the local application?
