Answer an RP-initiated logout confirmation (RP-Initiated Logout 1.0 §2)

Docs version v1 (main)Nauthera is pre-1.0, in a design-partner program

POST/v1/auth/logout/confirm

Completes or abandons a logout parked by /end_session. The handle is single-use: the parked request is consumed whether the user confirms or declines, so a handle left in browser history cannot sign anyone out later.

On confirmation the session is revoked, participating relying parties are notified, and redirectTo is the already-validated post_logout_redirect_uri with state echoed. On refusal nothing is revoked and redirectTo is the provider's own page — §3 forbids the post-logout redirect when the logout did not happen.

POST/v1/auth/logout/confirm

curl -X POST 'https://auth.example.com/v1/auth/logout/confirm' \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "handle": "string",
    "approve": true
  }'

Response

200 OK

{
  "loggedOut": true
}

Authorization

None. This endpoint does not take API credentials.

It reads the browser session from the Cookie header.

The request Cookie header; the interactive login / pending-auth session cookie, and the browser marker a sign-in is recognized by, are read from it.

Originstring
Browser Origin, checked (with Sec-Fetch-Site) as a same-origin/CSRF guard.
Sec-Fetch-Sitestring
Fetch metadata; only same-origin is trusted (CSRF guard).
Content-Typestring
Must be application/json — a JSON body cannot be a CORS simple request, closing form-based CSRF.

Request body

application/json

The user's answer to a parked RP-initiated logout, plus the opaque handle naming it. The handle carries no meaning — the validated post_logout_redirect_uri, state and client_id are held server-side, so the confirmation round trip cannot introduce a destination that was never checked.

handlestringrequired
The single-use handle from the logout screen's lr parameter.
at most 128 characters
approvebooleanrequired
True to end the session, false to keep it.

Too many requests.
Body
RFC 9457 (formerly RFC 7807) problem details (application/problem+json). code is a stable machine-readable slug for the problem kind (it mirrors the last path segment of type), so consumers can branch on it without parsing prose. type is https://nauthera.io/problems/<code>, which resolves to the code's runbook: why it happened, who is affected and what to do (RFC 9457 §3.1.1). A problem without a code has about:blank. errors is present on validation failures and lists every offending field.

  The kind of problem, as a stable machine-readable slug a client branches on and translates rather than parsing title or detail, which are English prose for logs. A problem whose status says everything the server knows carries no code.

  validation_error is the one code whose message is not a sentence about the code itself: the request failed the schema, and the specifics are the errors list — one entry per offending field — which a form renders on those fields. required and malformed are spelled like two of the per-field violation codes (FieldError.code) but mean something else; the two vocabularies are told apart by position, never by spelling.
  
  Compatibility: this is a CLOSED enum, with the same cost as AuditAction: a client generated against an older version of this document rejects a problem carrying a code added after it was built. Regenerate on upgrade, or decode the field as a plain string. It is enumerated anyway so that what a client must translate is knowable from the contract alone.
