Problem Statement:

Browser is being redirected to a different application when logging out of a SAML connection.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Log in to Application 1
  2. Log in to Application 2 in another browser tab
  3. Log out from Application 1
  4. As part of logging out from Application 1, the user is redirected to Application 2

Solution:

This behavior is expected when you have more than one application working with the same SAML connection.

The SP will initiate SLO by sending a SAML logout request to the following endpoint:

https://YOUR_DOMAIN/samlp/CLIENT_ID/logout

Auth0 will use the logout response to look up the user’s session. If the user has sessions with other SAML SPs, Auth0 will redirect the user to those SPs.
