如何使 ASP.NET Core 中的身份验证 cookie 无效？

Question

I am having trouble invalidating an authentication cookie in ASP.NET Core 3.0.

Scenario

I have a user who is logged into the website. When they click the logout button it calls the following code:

[HttpGet]
public async Task<IActionResult> Logout()
{
    await HttpContext.SignOutAsync(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);
    HttpContext.Session.Clear();

    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}

This successfully clears all the cookies in the browser, however, if I grab the value of the session cookie .AspNetCore.Cookies prior to signing out, then add it back in on a future request, I am able to navigate to the pages which require user authentication.

Anyone able to help with this?

Note: The original question was regarding how to clear user session but I have since realised that this is actually an issue regarding the cookie itself and not server-side session.

Answer 1

This is how I do my logout method:

/// <summary>
/// Do the logout
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task Logout()
{
    await HttpContext.SignOutAsync(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);
    await HttpContext.SignOutAsync(OpenIdConnectDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);

    //Important, this method should never return anything.
}

The trick here is to have the method not returning anything, as the SignOut method will generate its own response internally to the browser.
