kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Opus 5 75047ef459 refactor(logout): drop a redirect that never took effect
The injected logout built `?redirect_uri=<web_protocol>://<DOMAIN_PRIMARY>`
and appended it to the end-session endpoint. Keycloak 26.7.1
(roles/web-app-keycloak/meta/services.yml:49-50) does not accept
redirect_uri there - it takes post_logout_redirect_uri plus id_token_hint
or client_id - so the parameter was dropped on arrival. Run 32284541284
job 96178507650 shows the proof: Keycloak answered with its logout-confirm
interstitial carrying client_id=account, i.e. it resolved no client from
the request at all.

The value was wrong as well as inert. DOMAIN_PRIMARY is claimed only by
roles/svc-prx-openresty, which declares no sso block, so it is never a
registered redirect URI - the parameter would have been rejected on
clearnet too the moment it became effective. Under tor it also glued the
app's own scheme to the portal's host.

Removing rather than correcting is what keeps this safe: every way this
could break requires a redirect target to be validated, and after the diff
there is no target. The emitted request is a strict prefix of today's.

The same three lines were duplicated verbatim in four web-app roles;
they collapse to the bare endpoint the shared role already passed. The
caller graph is closed - initLogoutPatch appears exactly three times
(definition, export, call site) - so the arity change leaves no orphan.

Fixes nothing that was failing; no CI job was red because of this.

sys-front-inj-logout

This role injects a catcher that intercepts all logout elements in HTML pages served by NGINX and redirects them to a centralized logout endpoint via JavaScript.

Description

The sys-front-inj-logout Ansible role automatically embeds a lightweight JavaScript snippet into your web application's HTML responses. This script identifies logout links, buttons, forms, and other elements, overrides their target URLs, and ensures users are redirected to a central OIDC logout endpoint, providing a consistent single sign‑out experience.

Overview

  • Detection: Scans the DOM for anchors (<a>), buttons, inputs, forms, use elements and any attributes indicating logout functionality.
  • Override: Rewrites logout URLs to point at your OIDC provider’s logout endpoint.
  • Dynamic content support: Uses a MutationObserver to handle AJAX‑loaded or dynamically injected logout elements.
  • CSP integration: Automatically appends the required script hash into your CSP policy via the role’s CSP helper.

Cosmos

The diagram places sys-front-inj-logout in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role's deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Features

  • Seamless injection via NGINX sub_filter on </head>.
  • Automatic detection of various logout mechanisms (links, buttons, forms).
  • Centralized logout redirection for a unified user experience.
  • No changes required in application code.
  • Compatible with SPAs and dynamically generated content.
  • CSP‑friendly: manages script hash for you.
