texte = Happy sunday all! I am successfully using [authenticate], conditionals, and a custom userGroups.db for protecting secure areas of our site. What I am not clear about is how to use WebDNA to clear out the values the browser has stored for [username] and [password]. How do we do that? I want to allow graceful logout, to for example, allow a user to logout so he can log back in as someone else. The best I can do with my current mastery of [authenticate] et al is to force a new insatiable [authenticate] dialog box. In safari/mac this works (sort of) in that the user can then use his bookmark to log back in again to the proper page with the new user/pass to log in as that someone else, but on firefox it hangs on an endless loop. Either way it is not graceful (I never get to display HTML to the user as to what is happening). How do you guys handle this? -Govinda Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
