Understanding Back-Channel Logout in Liferay DXP 2026.Q1 and what it means for your authentication architecture.

If you've searched for information about OpenID Connect (OIDC) Single Logout (SLO) in Liferay, you've probably come across answers stating that it isn't supported. That answer was accurate for a long time, and it still occasionally appears in support discussions today.
Beginning with Liferay DXP 2026.Q1, however, that answer is no longer correct.
Liferay now supports the OpenID Connect Back-Channel Logout specification, allowing an OpenID Provider (OP) to notify Liferay that a user's central authentication session has ended so the corresponding portal session can be terminated as well.
