Question

My application uses Entra ID to authenticate users.

If I log out from the application and internally I call the Entra ID end-session endpoint to log the user out from Entra ID, how can I verify the logout in the Azure portal or using Postman?

Hello Landge, Rameshwar,

Microsoft Entra ID does not monitor login/logout status, you cannot validate logout in Postman or the Azure interface. When a user logs out, their browser's session cookies are simply deleted.

As a workaround:

Try hitting the authorize URL once more after reaching the end-session. Instead of silently logging in, Entra ID will ask for credentials once more if the logout was successful.

Alternatively, try logging in using Incognito or Private window; if you need to log in again, the logout was successful.
