Quarkus HTTP authentication logout

Question

I'm currently developping an application with Quarkus usig an http form authentication. After reading "Form based authentication" page (https://quarkus.io/guides/security-built-in-authentication) I'm facing an issue with the logout stage. The documentation does not mention any option to logout the current session.

As Quarkus internally uses Vert.x, I tried the following:

@Path("/auth")
public class AuthController {

    @LoggerName("AuthController")
    Logger log;

    @ConfigProperty(name = "quarkus.http.auth.form.cookie-name")
    String COOKIE_NAME;

    @ConfigProperty(name = "quarkus.http.auth.form.location-cookie")
    String REDIRECT_COOKIE_NAME;

    @ConfigProperty(name = "quarkus.http.auth.form.login-page")
    String LOGIN_PAGE;

    @GET
    @Path("/logout")
    public void logout(@Context RoutingContext ctx) {
        var c1 = ctx.removeCookie(COOKIE_NAME);
        var c2 = ctx.removeCookie(REDIRECT_COOKIE_NAME);
        log.info(String.format("c1 = %s, c2 = %s", c1.getName(), c2.getName()));
        ctx.redirect(LOGIN_PAGE);
    }
}

This does not works like expected. The log.info logs well ([AuthController] (executor-thread-0) c1 = MyCookieName, c2 = quarkus-redirect-location) and the redirection works fine. However the session persists.

How can i fixed it ?

Thanks for the help,

After several research and tries, a solution I found is to invalidate the cookie with Javascript using:

document.cookie = "MyCookieName=; Max-Age=0";

This invalidate the cookie and redirect to the login page.
