Title: server-manager logout button v/5.6
Post by: spider_01 on September 07, 2004, 07:54:11 AM

Is it possible to add a logout button or script to the server-manager and the user-manager? I am still running 5.6 and I really don't to upgrade yet. The only way I can break the connection now is to close my browser down. It seems really strange that there isn't one there by default.

It's not possible, without changing the authentication scheme used by the manager. HTTP basic authentication doesn't allow the server to tell the browser to forget the credentials it is using. The only way for the browser to lose them is for the browser to be shut down.

To have what you'd want the manager would need to have session based authentication, and that's a non-trivial change.
