Description

Expected Behavior

When using Spring Session with Spring Boot, I'd expect Back-Channel Logout to work out of the box. This would require a compatible OidcSessionRegistry in the application context.

Current Behavior

The only OidcSessionRegistry provided by Spring Security is InMemoryOidcSessionRegistry which isn't compatible with distributed OAuth2 clients.

Context

I'm using spring-cloud-gateway-mvc configured with oauth2Login, the TokenRelay= filter, and Back-Channel Logout. To achieve high availability of k8s deployments, I'd like to have a minimum of two instances running in parallel. Unfortunately, for now, Back-Channel Logout won't work in this configuration.

Research direction

Start with the Spring Security OidcSessionRegistry and InMemoryOidcSessionRegistry entry points, then review how Spring Boot auto-configuration creates application-context beans for Spring Session. Done means a compatible registry is provided automatically so Back-Channel Logout works with multiple distributed application instances.
