How to signout/destroy session on the server

[Mosquid]

What would be an alternative to signOut function on the server? Basically, I'm looking for a way to redirect a user to some page while destroying their session (invalidate cookie?).

I don't think you can delete a cookie without actually receiving the Set-Cookie response header in the browser. 👀

If you use a database-persisted session though, you can delete it from the database, and next time the user tries to grab their session, it won't be valid anymore.

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, I'm aware that it requires sending "set-cookie" and I'm looking for a way to do it right. Here is what I'm trying to achieve:

• getServerSideProps is trying to fetch current user's data from my backend
• If 401 is returned, I need to terminate the session

Is there a way to achieve this in one redirect?

I am doing very similar thing with fetching user profile from backend in the session callback. Were you able to achieve this?
