texte = I know, this question was already here, but maybe someone found a trick in the meantime...I have an application where the admin of a client can change a database via the web. For security reasons the inactivity-time for an admin is limited to 20 minutes - that means, if the admin does not klick any link or button during 20 minutes I assume he left the machine alone and I forbid further actions without relogin.It would be easy if I do the login via a form, but I want to ask for [username] sometimes so I prefer to login via browser authentication. But there is the common problem: how to make a browser forget the current user? I tried some code with [authenticate] within loops, across more templates, setting variables, but to no avail. Is there any solution, which forces a login request while the browser is still running?Peter__________________________________________ Peter Ostry - po@ostry.com - www.ostry.com Ostry & Partner - Ostry Internet Solutions Auhofstrasse 29 A-1130 Vienna Austria fon ++43-1-8777454 fax ++43-1-8777454-21
