HTTP is stateless, so it’s really a convention of the browser (client) and server that make you “logged in” for a given request. Check out the answer in this post — the important part is that once authentication is complete, the server will respond with an Authorization header which the browser will pass back. Manually clearing the header in the controller by doing something like request.headers['Authorization'] = '' should work, I think.
