Elvis 5 REST API - logout

http://yourserver.com/services/logout

What does it do?

Terminates your browser session. Use this to end a session using an AJAX call.

Parameters

This service has no parameters.

Return value

• logoutSuccess. 'true'. Indicates that logout was successful.

Note: Logging out through AJAX won't work if you are doing cross-domain calls, since session cookies are not accepted when received through a cross-domain AJAX call. Use "logout and redirect" instead, see below.

Logout and redirect

http://yourserver.com/logout
    ?logoutSuccessUrl=<url>

Redirects to a 'success' URL after terminating the session. The URL can be a relative or absolute URL and can even redirect to a different server.

When no logoutSuccessUrl is specified, the user will be redirected to the configured landing page (by default this is the client install page).

Examples

AJAX logout with success

    }

Redirect logout

Ends the session and redirects to www.elvisdam.com.

http://demo.elvisdam.com/logout
    ?logoutSuccessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.elvisdam.com
