# Reset Authentication Session by Session Token

##

```none
POST {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/sessions/me
```

Use `POST {{apiPath}}/v1/environments/{{envID}}/sessions/me` to reset authentication for the session identified by the session token cookie (`me`). This effectively signs the user out of the SSO session. The user is then required to be authenticated again for the SSO session indicated by the session token cookie.

You need to include in the header, Content-Type set to `application/vnd.pingidentity.sso.session.logout`, and Cookie set to "ST={{token}}". The request body is empty.

A successful execution returns 204 No Content.

### Prerequisites

* Refer to [Sessions](../sessions.html) for important overview information.

### Headers

Authorization      Bearer {{accessToken}}

Content-Type      application/vnd.pingidentity.sso.session.logout

Cookie      ST={{token}}
