!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is about [Session Management] and a specification that complements the [OpenID Connect] ([OpenID Connect Core 1.0]) specification by defining how to monitor the [Resource Owner]'s [login] status at the [Identity Provider (IDP)] on an ongoing basis so that the [Relying Party] can [logout] a [Resource Owner] who has logged out of the [Identity Provider (IDP)].


by defining how to monitor the [End-User]'s login status at the [OpenID Connect Provider] on an ongoing basis so that the [Relying Party] can log out an [End-User] who has logged out of the [OpenID Connect Provider].

Both this specification and the [OpenID Connect Front-Channel Logout] [OpenID.FrontChannel] specification use [front-channel communication], which communicate logout requests from the [OpenID Connect Provider] to [Relying Party] via the [User-agent]. In contrast, the [OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout] 1.0 [OpenID.BackChannel] specification uses direct [Back-channel Communication] between the [OpenID Connect Provider] and [Relying Parties|Relying Party] being logged out.

[{$pagename}] specification can be used separately from or in combination with [OpenID Connect Front-Channel Logout] 1.0 and/or [OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout] 1.0.


[{$pagename}] is defined in an [OpenID Connect] [Specification|https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-session-1_0.html|target='_blank']

These [OpenID Connect Provider] [OpenID Connect Discovery] [parameters] [MUST] be included in the Server's discovery responses when [{$pagename}] and Discovery are supported:
* [check_session_iframe]
* [end_session_endpoint]
