Logout User

[dman75]

Is there a way to logout the current user in your system from another application. I have the other application able to log the users in to checkbox, but when signing them out and clearing cookies and session.abandon it doesnt appear to be killing the users checkbox authentication.

-Thanks

A token identifying the user's login context is stored in the user's session in the Checkbox application. The user's login information is stored in an application level cache, which isn't readily accessible from external applications. The end result is that it's not possible to make a simple call from your application to clear the context.

Depending on how much work you want to do, you might be able to implement your own security cache which is able to expire user contexts in response to some external process.
