I think the fix is handling the no_redirect param openedx sends when logging out and not redirecting again back to openedx: https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/blob/ddc55483dad824443f01b59c0da2a32c41eb3002/openedx/core/djangoapps/user_authn/views/logout.py#L100

@briangrossman this seems to be working fine on RC. You can have a look at that.

We are facing that behavior because on mitxonline login you open edX instance was not really authenticated so that has added the next parameter because of not being logged in. That next parameter is the main cause of its redirection.

Your dropbox link didn't work for me, but I was able to confirm that it's working on RC.

So as long as it's working in RC, once we come up with the fix of the MFE authentication issue that's what @asadiqbal08 is working on. It should be working fine on production too.

@briangrossman did you find a workaround for this, by linking the mtixonline dashboard to legacy pages instead of the MFE?

This issue still exists. The issue you referenced above (#393) fixed the problem where learners weren't automatically signed in to edX when they accessed courses via their dashboard, but it doesn't resolve this issue.
