How to manually log out a user with spring security?

Question

Probably the answer is simple: How can I manually logout the currently logged in user in spring security? Is it sufficient to call:

SecurityContextHolder.get         


        

Answer 1

I use the same code in LogoutFilter, reusing the LogoutHandlers as following:

public static void myLogoff(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    CookieClearingLogoutHandler cookieClearingLogoutHandler = new CookieClearingLogoutHandler(AbstractRememberMeServices.SPRING_SECURITY_REMEMBER_ME_COOKIE_KEY);
    SecurityContextLogoutHandler securityContextLogoutHandler = new SecurityContextLogoutHandler();
    cookieClearingLogoutHandler.logout(request, response, null);
    securityContextLogoutHandler.logout(request, response, null);
}
