# Which Problems Are Solved
Currently if a user signs in using an IdP, once they sign out of
Zitadel, the corresponding IdP session is not terminated. This can be
the desired behavior. In some cases, e.g. when using a shared computer
it results in a potential security risk, since a follower user might be
able to sign in as the previous using the still open IdP session.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Admins can enabled a federated logout option on SAML IdPs through the
Admin and Management APIs.
- During the termination of a login V1 session using OIDC end_session
endpoint, Zitadel will check if an IdP was used to authenticate that
session.
- In case there was a SAML IdP used with Federated Logout enabled, it
will intercept the logout process, store the information into the shared
cache and redirect to the federated logout endpoint in the V1 login.
- The V1 login federated logout endpoint checks every request on an
existing cache entry. On success it will create a SAML logout request
for the used IdP and either redirect or POST to the configured SLO
endpoint. The cache entry is updated with a `redirected` state.
- A SLO endpoint is added to the `/idp` handlers, which will handle the
SAML logout responses. At the moment it will check again for an existing
federated logout entry (with state `redirected`) in the cache. On
success, the user is redirected to the initially provided
`post_logout_redirect_uri` from the end_session request.

# Which Problems Are Solved
ZITADEL currently always uses
`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent` in SAML requests,
relying on the IdP to respect that flag and always return a peristent
nameid in order to be able to map the external user with an existing
user (idp link) in ZITADEL.
In case the IdP however returns a
`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient` (transient)
nameid, the attribute will differ between each request and it will not
be possible to match existing users.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This PR adds the following two options on SAML IdP:
- **nameIDFormat**: allows to set the nameid-format used in the SAML
Request
- **transientMappingAttributeName**: allows to set an attribute name,
which will be used instead of the nameid itself in case the returned
nameid-format is transient
# Additional Changes
To reduce impact on current installations, the `idp_templates6_saml`
table is altered with the two added columns by a setup job. New
installations will automatically get the table with the two columns
directly.
All idp unit tests are updated to use `expectEventstore` instead of the
deprecated `eventstoreExpect`.

This implementation increases parallel write capabilities of the eventstore.
Please have a look at the technical advisories: [05](https://zitadel.com/docs/support/advisory/a10005) and [06](https://zitadel.com/docs/support/advisory/a10006).
The implementation of eventstore.push is rewritten and stored events are migrated to a new table `eventstore.events2`.
If you are using cockroach: make sure that the database user of ZITADEL has `VIEWACTIVITY` grant. This is used to query events.
