Abstract
An intermediary (such as a web reverse proxy), which is located between a web browser and one or more backend applications, manages cookies that are provided by the backend applications and returned to the web browser during a user session. When a session sign-off event is initiated in the reverse proxy, HTTP “Set-Cookie” headers are sent back to the web browser to destroy the cookies (in the browser) that represent sessions with the one or more backend application(s).
