End session

Question

Why does Microsoft not end a session but show the success "signed out" page?

And doesn't redirect to provided page:

https://login.microsoftonline.com/***Directory id***/oauth2/logout?post_logout_redirect_uri=Our identity server url&state=......

This issue comes not every time sometimes it works fine.

We use WebView inside a react-native app

Is there any log we can check or how to know what the problem is?

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A. To sign out a user, we need to perform both of these operations:

• It redirect the user's user-agent to the Microsoft identity platform's logout URI. ( During Application Registration)
• Clear your app's cookies or otherwise end the user's session in your application. (SignOut action of the controller within application Code)

1. If you fail to perform either operation, the user may remain authenticated and not be prompted to sign-in the next time they user your app.
2. Also If the end user's web browser is blocking third party cookies, it may break front channel logout.

In order to validate the same you may look for browser trace while trying to reproduce the issue or a fiddler trace would help.

Please do let me know if you have any further queries.

Thanks,
