I’m currently using the Remote-User header to authenticate users (using auth_remote plugin), but my authentication mechanism supports logout via special URL. Would be nice if there was a way to specify a logout URL after TTRSS log out, otherwise the logout does nothing and it’ll log me back in again.
I hope this makes sense.
this makes sense. i’ll make a note to take a look at this when i have some time.
Hi Fox,
Sounds good 
Some extra information for the workflow…
When I just logged out the authentication which provides the Remote-User, I then login as a different user, TTRSS I’m still logged in as the old user. I have to go to 3 Bars menu then Logout, it then picks the Remote-User again, and logs me in as the correct user.
So the process would need to;
Logout of TTRSS, then redirect to specified authentication provider URL in my case it would be “https://rss.domain.com/akprox/sign_out”, to finish off the authentication logout.
i’m probably going to add a post-logout hook which auth_remote is going to provide, if hook function returns an url, tt-rss would redirect to it, instead of login page. something like that.
That sounds perfect!
Can confirm this works nicely.
If anyone else gets this problem as well, if you do
TTRSS_AUTH_REMOTE_POST_LOGOUT_URL=/akprox/sign_out
instead of it fully qualified, it won’t work.
TTRSS_AUTH_REMOTE_POST_LOGOUT_URL=https://rss.domain.com/akprox/sign_out
So makes sure its fully qualified.
yeah, provided URLs are validated, so this is required. also, no custom ports, etc.
