Superset currently has no backchannel or frontchannel logout support — once a user authenticates via OAuth/OIDC, Superset creates a Flask session cookie and never re-validates the token against the IdP on subsequent requests [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/security/manager.py#L393-L404). So if the user logs out of Keycloak externally, Superset has no way to know about it. That said, the session invalidation infrastructure *does* exist in Superset (the `sessions_invalidated_at` pattern from [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/pull/40695)), and the `CUSTOM_SECURITY_MANAGER` extension point [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/security/manager.py#L241-L243) allows users to wire up their own logic — e.g., overriding the `request_loader` to do token introspection or implementing a backchannel logout endpoint. So to directly answer your question: **no, this doesn't require core Superset code changes.** It's solvable on the deployment side by either: 1. Having the external app hit Superset's `/logout/` endpoint before initiating re-login 2. Implementing a custom `SecurityManager` that validates sessions against Keycloak Adding native backchannel logout support to Superset *could* be a feature contribution, but the existing extension points make it a user-side concern for now. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
