Destroying Session Token Handles

When the caller is finished with a token handle, it must be freed to prevent memory leak by calling am_sso_destroy_sso_token_handle(). The session associated with the token handle can be invalidated or ended with am_sso_invalidate_token().


Tip –

Although this ends the session for the user, the proper way to log out is by using am_auth_logout() as described in am_auth_logout(). Not using am_auth_logout() will result in authentication resources associated with the session remaining on the server unnecessarily until the session has timed out.
