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.

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.
