How to Log Out from the Bold BI Application?

To securely log out of the Bold BI application, you need to use a specific endpoint. This ensures your session ends safely and efficiently. Below are the details on how to complete the logout process.

Bold BI Logout Endpoint

To log out, use the following endpoint:

https://{domain}/oauth/logout?redirect_uri={returnUrl}

• {domain}: Replace this with your Bold BI application’s domain.
• {returnUrl}: Specify the URL where the user should be redirected after logging out.

Understanding the Logout Process

When using third-party applications integrated with Single Sign-On (SSO), it’s essential to follow a proper logout flow to ensure complete session termination.

Steps Involved:

1. Send a request to the OAuth logout endpoint to initiate the logout process.
2. The user is redirected to the SSO logout endpoint, ensuring their session with the authentication server is terminated.
3. Once successfully logged out from both SSO and the Bold BI application, the user is redirected to the specified URL (redirect_uri) for confirmation

This process ensures that:

• The user is logged out from all connected systems.
• Local authentication data is cleared.
• The user is safely redirected for re-authentication if needed.
