The problem with this is that the browser will not clear its cache of this valid username/password unless the user clicks 'OK' on the login dialog box that pops up. If the user clicks 'Cancel' then the browser assumes that the user doesn't want to change the username/password, and keeps the existing one in cache, hence, a reload of the page will be successfull. Does anyone know of any tricks to get around this? terry Marcus Collins wrote:
Hi,
With basic authentication, the user's browser caches the username and password, and sends them along with each request. All you can do to invalidate the cached values is raise an "Unauthorized" exception.
<dtml-raise type="Unauthorized"> You have been logged out. Please log in again. </dtml-raise>
This sends an HTTP 500 Unauthorized back to your browser, which should display the basic auth. login box again.
See http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/DTML-HTML/DTML.12.html for details.

I have tried to logout with standard basic authentification, but I have not seen nothing in Mailing List. Only I have seen log out with cookie-based authentication, but i have to use standard authentification. I don't know how i can do it. What can I do to logout with standard basic authentification?
Thanks
