Hello Everyone,

In one of our applications we are opening the kibana ui in another tab (same domain) with jwt authentication, wherein the kibana dashboard loads properly.

However, when we do a kibana logout, the main application is also logging out. Is there a way to restrict only kibana to logout, and not the main app.

Also, if we do a logout from main appication, the kibana session is still maintained, and hence the kibana dashboard loads. However, here I want to logout from kibana as well, if i do a logout from main app.

I’m not sure if we’ve done some misconfiguration which is creating this issue. I’ve looked at other community threads, but couldn’t find something useful.

Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance !
