- ISSUE : When doing a backchannel logout using an OIDC provider, a user may lose any non backed-up keys.
- PROPOSED FEATURE : Allow to set the backchannel logout induced by an OIDC to be a soft-logout, thus allowing the user to reconnect to the same device and recover his session if necessary.
- IMPLEMENTATION : Allow setting OIDC backchannel logout to be a soft-logout in OIDC provider configuration via `backchannel_logout_is_soft` which defaults to false.
