Spring security logout handling

Spring security logout handling

Handling logout in Spring Security involves configuring your application to log users out when they access a specific logout URL or trigger a logout event. Here's how you can handle logout in Spring Security:

  1. Configure Logout URL: Define a logout URL in your Spring Security configuration.

  2. Handle Logout Event: Implement a logout success handler to perform custom actions after logout, such as redirecting the user to a specific page or sending a response.

  3. Clear Authentication: Clear the authentication information from the security context to log the user out.

Here's an example of how you can configure logout handling in a Spring Security application:

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity; import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity; import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter; import org.springframework.security.web.authentication.logout.HttpStatusReturningLogoutSuccessHandler; import org.springframework.security.web.authentication.logout.LogoutSuccessHandler; @Configuration @EnableWebSecurity public class SecurityConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter { @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http .authorizeRequests() .antMatchers("/admin/**").hasRole("ADMIN") .anyRequest().authenticated() .and() .formLogin() .and() .logout() .logoutUrl("/logout") .logoutSuccessHandler(logoutSuccessHandler()) // Custom logout success handler .invalidateHttpSession(true) .deleteCookies("JSESSIONID"); } @Bean public LogoutSuccessHandler logoutSuccessHandler() { return new HttpStatusReturningLogoutSuccessHandler(); // Return HTTP status code 200 after logout } }

In this example:

  • We configure the logout URL using .logoutUrl("/logout").
  • We specify a custom logout success handler using .logoutSuccessHandler(). This handler is responsible for performing actions after logout, such as redirecting the user or sending a response. In this example, we use HttpStatusReturningLogoutSuccessHandler to return an HTTP status code 200 after logout.
  • We invalidate the HTTP session and delete cookies associated with the session using .invalidateHttpSession(true) and .deleteCookies("JSESSIONID"), respectively.

With this configuration, when a user accesses the /logout URL, Spring Security will log the user out, clear the authentication information, invalidate the HTTP session, and delete the session cookies. You can customize the logout behavior by implementing a custom logout success handler.
