[keycloak-user] API not protected immediately after logout

I don't know what the connect.sid cookie is. Sounds like there's some sort
of logged-in session between your app and the nodejs app that doesn't have
anything to do with keycloak.js

keycloak.js clears tokens on logout. You should invoke the node.js services
with the bearer token. There's no need to have a session cookie between the
app and service.
