SocialAuthUser.GetCurrentUser().Logout() with a given provider

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In our application, a user profile (local profile) can be connected with 
multiple social providers (using SocialAuth).

The process of linking the local profile to the social profile works smoothly.

Vice-versa, when we try to unlink the profiles, we would also like to do a 
"logout" of the SocialAuthUser for a single provider; we instead obtain a full 
logout from all linked providers.

We have a small workaround for the problem - that is 
HttpContext.Session.Remove("socialauthsession");

Still, this feels quite brutal, since it drops all of social auth sessions.

Could it be possible to pass a single provider to the 
SocialAuthUser.GetCurrentUser().Logout() function?

This should be an enhancement, since it's not actually an issue...

Hi,

At the moment logout() logs out user from all providers (only from application 
context! SocialAuth never logs out user from the provider itself). However, it 
is an interesting point and completely agree with paolo that it is an 
enhancement. We'll add it to our roadmap and since it doesn't seem to involve 
too much of effort, we'll try to have it in next release (but that is not 
happening anytime soon)

Anyways, once this is implemented, I'll add the solution here, so that you can 
easily modify library and use it for your purpose without waiting for release.
