Node.js passport auth0 logout

Help
1

I was looking at this blog example to implement the passport-auth0 library Node.js and Express Tutorial: Authentication Using Passport

In the logout section, after doing req.logout(), the blog suggests to construct a logout URL to point to the Auth0 domain for log out.

Why is that necessary? The passport documentation suggests logout is as simple as

req.logout();
res.redirect('/');

Thanks Dan. I also opened this issue Documentation link is no longer using this library · Issue #119 · auth0/passport-auth0 · GitHub while poking around the different resources. Perhaps you can chime in?

Tri, update for you :slight_smile: I raised this concern with the team and they’ll be putting the Passport guidance back on that link. I’ll be following up on this next week. :eyes:

@tridnguyen The URL has been updated to be host the Node, Express, and Passport Quick Start :muscle:

I’ll be researching your other concern about logout this week as I continue to update the tutorial.

Thanks Dan! Looking forward to hear back.

Also, if I were to create a new Node app now with Auth0, should I still be using passport, or express openid connect?

You are welcome :slight_smile: For the time being, if you are building a traditional web app, I recommend to use Passport + Auth0. The new Express OpenID Connect SDK may be going through some changes.

When the time comes, I’d like to create a blog post offering migration guidance from Passport to this SDK for those who want to use it :+1: However, Passport still remains a solid tool :shield: We are just looking to provide another option.

Howdy, Tri!
I apologize for the delay. This thread got lost but one of my teammates thankfully brought it up to my attention. :pray:

You can now use the Express OpenID Connect SDK for all your Auth0 authentication implementation. You can follow this blog post for guidance:

Let me know, please, if you have any questions.
