This webscript needs have user authentication requirements ,that means if you want to execute this webscript, a named user authentication is required.
if you want to logout yourself you can login use your identification an execute this webscript.
If you want to logout other user you should login as admin

Following is example code you can refer to



import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpStatus;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.DeleteMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.StringRequestEntity;
import org.json.JSONObject;

public class LoginAddLogoutTest {

   public String login() {
      String ticket = null;
      HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

      String apiurl = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login";
      PostMethod post = new PostMethod(apiurl);
      try {
         JSONObject login = new JSONObject();
         login.put("username", "admin");
         login.put("password", "admin");

         post.setDoAuthentication(true);
         post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
         post.setRequestEntity(new StringRequestEntity(login.toString(),
               "application/json", "UTF-8"));

         int status = client.executeMethod(post);
         if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
            System.err.println("Method failed: " + post.getStatusLine());
         }
         String responseData = post.getResponseBodyAsString();

         System.out.println(responseData);
         JSONObject response = new JSONObject(responseData);
         ticket = response.getJSONObject("data").getString("ticket");
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
         post.releaseConnection();
      }
      return ticket;
   }

   public void logout(String ticket, String tologoutTicket) {
      HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

      String apiurl = "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/login/ticket/"
            + tologoutTicket + "?alf_ticket=" + ticket;
      DeleteMethod post = new DeleteMethod(apiurl);
      try {

         post.setDoAuthentication(true);
         post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/xml");

         int status = client.executeMethod(post);
         if (status != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
            System.err.println("Method failed: " + post.getStatusLine());
         }
         String resultString = post.getResponseBodyAsString();
         System.out.println(resultString);
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } finally {
         post.releaseConnection();
      }
   }

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      LoginAddLogoutTest t = new LoginAddLogoutTest();
      String ticket = t.login();
      t.logout(ticket, ticket); // in my case I logout admin using admin
                           // authentication
   }
}
