Hi all,

As mentioned in the OpenID Connect Core specification [1], the ID Token is
returned to the User Agent as a URI fragment in the redirect URL of the
response in the Implicit Flow.

The server has no access to the ID Token, therefore the server will not be
aware of any user session at the client side thereby making Backchannel
logout [2] pointless.

Should the ID Token be sent to the server for establishing a user session
at the server?
Or is backchannel logout for RPs using Implicit flow not necessary?

Any input will be appreciated.
