ASP.Net MVC 5 w/identity 2.2.0 Log off not working

Question

I am using a the basic login on a test ASP.Net MVC 5 site (for an internet site).

The login works fine but when I try to logout it doesn't happen. The logout link does call the following controller action:

public ActionResult LogOff()
{
    AuthenticationManager.SignOut();
    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}

But the user stays logged in. How do I ensure that the user actually gets logged out?

Solution 1

I had this problem before, change:

AuthenticationManager.SignOut();

To:

AuthenticationManager.SignOut(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);

Assuming that you are using ApplicationCookie to store your login information.

Solution 2

Better way :

public ActionResult Logout()
{
    SignInManager.AuthenticationManager.SignOut();
    return RedirectToAction("Index", "support", new { area = "" });
}

or you can use injected SignInManager into your controller like this :

public ActionResult Logout()
{
    _signInManager.AuthenticationManager.SignOut();
    return RedirectToAction("Index", "support", new { area = "" });
}

there is no deference.
