Facebook does not logout when using django-social-auth social_auth disconnect

Question

I am using Django 1.5 and django-social-auth. I am able to login with facebook using the template:

<a href="{% url "socialauth_begin" 'facebook' %}"><img src="{% static "assets/img/login-with-facebook.png" %}"></img></a>

Later I use the disconnect template which I thought would disconnect me from facebook, as in if I later go to facebook.com I should be asked to log in again. I believe this is the usual behavior for most apps that use social authentication.

<a id="logout-option" href={% url "socialauth_disconnect" 'facebook'%}>[logout]</a>

Can someone explain what the expected behavior should be for the socialauth_disconnect and whether it should also log me out of facebook? If not, what is the recommended way of doing so? What about other providers?

Answer 1

socialauth_disconnect will remove the association between the Facebook account and the User account in your application, as if the user never hit the socialauth_begin link. There's no way from django-social-auth to logout your Facebook account, to make that possible the Facebook SDK might be needed (never did that so I'm not 100% sure), since to make that possible I guess some cookies will be removed, and to do that the script must come from the same domain.
