[twitter-dev] Re: How to use Twitter to sign out ? calling to end_session does not work
account/end_session will not do anything with the user on your site. It should log them out of twitter.com but the use case is very limited and I don't think it gets used/tested very often. To log someone out of your own site you have to delete the sessions/cookies/etc that you are using to keep them logged in. For example in PHP session_destroy(); will accomplish this. If the account 1) has already approved your application and 2) is currently signed into twitter.com since you are using oauth/authenticate they will not even appear to visit twitter.com. They will just automagically get logged in.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to use Twitter to sign out ? calling to end_session does not work
I think the question refers to the force_login oauth parameter. What I think CG wants it to log users out of Twitter, so when the app asks for authentication, the user is forced to log in TO TWITTER again. If that is the case: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-oauth-authenticate G'luck, Andres B @andresb On Jul 28, 11:19 pm, CG learn@gmail.com wrote: hi , thx for reply .. my app will actually do the following thing 1. get a new request token secret (or should I use the old requeust token ?) 2. redirect user to the authenticate URL (twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?x) with the request token secret At this moment , Twitter will do the authentication , and successfully authenticate me (even I hv call the end_session) ..

I'm not familiar with End_Session, but couldn't you just clear the OAuth Token and TokenSecret? That would effectively sign you out because you'd need to reauthenticate.
