SAML Connection SP Initiated Logout Redirects to Different Application
Feb 20, 2026
Overview
This article explains why a user is redirected to a different application when they are logged into a different application in another tab during a Service Provider (SP)- initiated logout of a SAML application.
Applies To
- SAML Applications
- Service Provider (SP) Initiated Logout
Solution
This behavior is expected when more than one application is logged in with the same SAML connection
The SP will initiate a Single Log Out (SLO) by sending a SAML logout request to the following endpoint:
https://YOUR_DOMAIN/samlp/CLIENT_ID/logout
Auth0 will use the logout response to look up the user’s session. If the user has sessions with other SAML SPs, Auth0 will redirect the user to all of those SPs in turn.
See Federated Logout and Single Logout (SLO) for more details about SLO.
