Abstract:
The disclosed computer-implemented method for logging out of cloud-based applications managed by single sign-on services may include (1) identifying an attempt by a single sign-on service to log a user out of a set of cloud-based applications, (2) in response to identifying the attempt to log the user out of the set of applications, tracking a logout status of each application within the set of cloud-based applications by, for each application (a) identifying a logout request sent by the single sign-on service to the application and (b) determining whether the application has sent a logout response to the single sign-on service that verifies that the user has been successfully logged out of the application, and (3) determining that the user is still logged into at least one application managed by the single sign-on service by determining that the application did not send a logout response to the single sign-on service.
