Logout and Session Termination Command Reference​

1. Overview​

The signercli -logout command is used to terminate the current authenticated session with the Signer Server.

When executed:

  • The active authentication token is revoked on the server
  • The locally stored token is deleted
  • All subsequent commands will require re-authentication

2. Command Usage​

signercli -logout

3. Description​

signercli -logout cleanly logs the user out of the Signer Server by:

  • Invalidating the active token on the server side
  • Removing the cached token from the local system

This ensures that:

  • No further signing or management operations can be performed
  • Session credentials are fully cleaned up

4. Typical Use Cases​

  • Ending an interactive administrative session
  • Cleaning up credentials on shared or temporary systems
  • Enforcing security policies after sensitive operations
  • Explicitly terminating access in CI/CD pipelines

5. Example​

Logout from the Signer Server​

signercli -logout

6. Security Notes​

  • Token revocation is immediate and irreversible
  • Logging out does not affect:
    • Certificates
    • Private keys
    • Configuration profiles
  • After logout, any command requiring authentication will fail until a new login is performed
CommandDescription

8. Summary​

The signercli -logout command provides a safe and explicit way to terminate an authenticated session, ensuring:

  • Server-side token revocation
  • Local credential cleanup
  • Compliance with security best practices

It should be used whenever access to the Signer Server is no longer required.
