Identity Engine vs Classic Engine sessions confusion around logut
I am having trouble figuring out how to properly log a user out of Okta using Identity Engine. Most documentation I see around sessions is for the Classic Engine where they specify the difference between a user session and an application session. Logging out of the user session may keep the application sessions open.
When I log the user out using a DELETE call to /api/v1/sessions/me/ it seems to do everything I need, but I can't find any documentation at the level of the Classic Engine to verify that I've logged the user out of Okta entirely.
Hello @BillS.23320 (Customer) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
Okta session and application session are 2 separate things. Okta does not control the application session, so logging out of Okta could not log you out of the application session.
Using that API call should remove the Okta session completely. Please also see our doc on this here:
