Federated logout terminates IdP sessions on logout

1 featureThis release1 featureNew capabilitiesAI-tallied from the release notes

Federated Logout is now generally available for OIDC and Okta enterprise connections. When a user logs out with `?federated` appended to the logout URL, Auth0 calls the upstream identity provider's `end_session_endpoint` to terminate the IdP session, closing the gap where a lingering IdP session could silently re-authenticate the user on their next login attempt. Note: if federated logout is attempted without providing an `end_session_endpoint`, federated logout will not be able to be completed, and a `federated_logout_failed` tenant log will be generated. The user will be successfully logged out of Auth0 and redirected back to the application, just as with a standard (non-federated) logout. With federated logout: - Auth0 takes the burden off customers by handling IdP session termination - Customers simply indicate if the IdP session should be ended when the Auth0 logout endpoint is reached — no extra setup needed for compliant IdPs - Employers and employees have peace of mind that their data is not accessible when they logout from their applications This feature is available on all plans that include enterprise connections.
