I tried to used this node as a solution to an issue I've been struggling with for a while. Which is adding user authentication to my http nodes. The problem with this node is that based on the description it should do exactly what I need for my app although, once logged in I've been unable to logout.

If someone could please help me address this issue. Maybe in another way that would be awesome.

I've noticed that this node add a cookie encrypted which contains the user information. In the node-red cookbook there appears information about cookies [https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/work-with-cookies](https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/work-with-cookies), how to add them and delete them but I have not been able to wrap it up all together to get what I need.

Regards.

you can route your users to .../users/logout, for example via a link in your html content served to the http endpoint. This will terminate the session of the logged-in client
