oauth2-proxy has no backchannel logout endpoint making SSO sign-out unreliable across browsers
oauth2-proxy implements only front-channel logout (redirect-based). Cross-browser restrictions in Safari and Firefox block cross-domain cookies, so a front-channel IdP logout redirect cannot clear oauth2-proxy sessions in those browsers. OIDC backchannel logout (RFC-based server-to-server POST) is the only reliable mechanism. The issue has been open since 2021. Wonderwall (27 stars) is a full K8s OIDC RP sidecar and a fundamentally different product; it does not function as a targeted backchannel logout receiver for an existing oauth2-proxy Redis session store.
