Logout redirects to /login?logout

[Busata]

I was following this guide, but my front-end project is separated from the spring boot project. After the first part, completing the angular login form & logout, logging out makes spring redirect you to a /login?logout page. Since he'll search for this path on the server, you get a 404 on the front end.

I found the solution for this to define a custom logoutsuccesshandler with HttpStatusReturningLogoutSuccessHandler as handler. Perhaps this is handy to mention in the tutorial itself to spare (poor! poor!) users like myself to scroll up & down to double check everything..

It doesn't actually affect the user experience in the guide samples though, so I'm not sure it's worth calling out explicitly. I'll have a think about it (it's easy to change anyway).

If its easy to change anyway, how would we do it?

The OP said what he did to change it. Actually with the latest codebase (new Spring Security version since the guide was first written) the /logout sends a 204 (not a 302), so you shouldn't have to change anything.
