SAML Single Logout
Organizations that manage Zinc access through a SAML identity provider (IdP) such as Okta or Active Directory can enforce logout policies centrally. SAML SLO provides a Zinc API endpoint that the IdP can call to terminate a user's Zinc session remotely. IT administrators gain the ability to require re-authentication in specific compliance scenarios without asking users to log out manually from Zinc.
Prerequisite
To use SAML SLO, your organization must have SAML SSO configured for Zinc. The IdP must be configured to point its SLO endpoint to the Zinc SLO API endpoint.
Logout Scenarios
Zinc supports the below SLO scenarios:
IdP-initiated logout: When a user logs out at the IdP, or when the IdP forces a logout, the IdP sends a SAML Logout Request message to the Zinc SLO endpoint. Zinc validates the request, terminates the user's session, and responds with a Logout Response. The IdP repeats this process with all other service providers where the user has active sessions.
Service Provider-initiated logout: When a user logs out from the Zinc app, Zinc sends a Logout Request to the IdP's SLO endpoint. The IdP terminates the session, sends Logout Request messages to all other service providers, collects their responses, and returns a Logout Response to Zinc.
