Create a new realm  
duplicate ‘browser’ Authentication flow. New Authentication flow is ‘Copy of browser fro x509 auth’  
Remove all steps in ‘Copy of browser fro x509 auth’  
Add ‘X509/Validate Username Form’  
Configure ‘User mapping method’ to ‘Username or Email’  
Launch ‘Home URL’ of ‘account-console’ client  
Login with proper client certificate.  
Now, click on “Sign out” button.  
Now, the logout happens. but again the login happens automatically  
Is there a way to change the logout redirection when logged-in with certificate.
