PERL Logout questionby "Bill Pierson" <wpierson(at)tampabay.rr.com> |
|
Greetings all, I'm working on a PERL script that uses .htaccess to authenticate a user, and display content depending on the username that they've supplied, using the environment variable $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} The project is a self-replicating web site that automatically assigns a userid, and the user provides the password. After signing up, they can modify their information, see their page views, etc. by logging on with that specific userID/password. The .cgi script reads the REMOTE_USER variable, which is passed from page to page during the entire "session." I've found that in order to be re-prompted for authentication, I have to close and reopen the browser. Is there something I can pass to the client that will kill the current $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} ?? I'm trying to allow the user a "logout" capability, but currently they can hit "back" and still be logged in. Any information would be sincerely appreciated, --Bill
