Overview

This node performs a "Log Out" operation for the "Authentication" resource. It is designed to invalidate or log out a user session by using a provided refresh token. This is typically used in workflows where you need to programmatically end a user's authenticated session, such as when implementing secure logout flows or revoking access after certain actions.

Practical Example:
You might use this node at the end of an automation that handles sensitive data, ensuring that the user's session is terminated and cannot be reused.

Properties

Output

The output structure is not explicitly defined in the provided code. However, based on standard practices for logout operations, the output will likely include a JSON object indicating the success or failure of the logout request. For example:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Logged out successfully"
}

If the node can output binary data, it would summarize the result of the logout operation, but there is no indication of binary output here.

Dependencies

• No explicit external services or API keys are mentioned in the provided code.
• The node depends on internal modules (./actions/versionDescription, ./methods, ./actions/router), which handle routing and option loading.
• No special n8n configurations or environment variables are specified.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

• Invalid or Expired Refresh Token: If the provided refresh token is invalid or expired, the logout operation may fail.
• Missing Required Property: If the "Refresh Token" property is not provided, the node will not execute successfully.

Common Error Messages:

• "Invalid refresh token" – Ensure you provide a valid, unexpired refresh token.
• "Missing required property: Refresh Token" – Make sure to fill in the required field before executing the node.
