KINDE_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL

KINDE_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL is the Kinde environment variable for the URL users should reach after signing out. Register the same URL as an allowed logout redirect URL in Kinde.

How it works

Set this environment variable to the destination users should reach after logging out. The destination must also be registered in Kinde as an allowed logout redirect URL, and deployed environments should use their corresponding application URL.

Syntax

KINDE_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL=<post_logout_url>

Key points

  • The variable defines the page users visit when the logout flow completes.
  • A local development value can point to the application's localhost origin.
  • The configured application URL and Kinde dashboard URL should match.
  • Use environment-specific destinations when the application runs locally, in staging, or in production.

Common mistakes

  • The destination must be registered in Kinde's allowed logout redirect URLs; otherwise the redirect configuration is invalid.
  • Keep the environment value synchronized with the URL configured for the relevant deployment.

Example: Configure the post-logout destination

KINDE_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL=http://localhost:3000

Set the environment variable to the URL where users should land after signing out.

When to use it

Return users to a localhost application after logout

Local development

Send signed-out users to the staging application

Staging deployments

Return users to the live application URL

Production deployments

Interview questions

QWhat does KINDE_POST_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL control?

It specifies the destination users are sent to after they log out of Kinde. For example, a local application can set it to http://localhost:3000.

Follow-up: What configuration is required for the redirect to work? The same destination must be included in Kinde's allowed logout redirect URLs.

QWhat kind of value should this variable contain?

It is an environment variable containing a URL, such as http://localhost:3000. The application uses that value as its post-logout destination.

Follow-up: How should production differ from local development? Replace the localhost URL with the deployed application's URL and register that URL in Kinde.

QWhy must the URL be allowlisted?

The URL must be listed under the application's allowed logout redirect URLs in Kinde. This restriction ensures the logout flow redirects only to an approved destination.

Follow-up: What is a common deployment mistake? Updating the application variable without updating Kinde's allowed logout redirect URL, or vice versa.
