Can anyone share some tips on how to logout users from a web page, using cookies or otherwise, allowing them to relogin as another user without having to quit/start their browser?

Well, with cookies, it's simple: delete the cookie. I think most fo the Login-type stuff has interfaces to do this for you (like the logout link on zope.org)

With Basic Auth it's a bit tricky. Basic Auth really only works 'cos browsers cache your username and password and send it each time you request a new page that it thinks those details apply to. So you just have to persuade the browser to stop cachign that info ;-)

I think you can do something like:

<dtml-raise Unauthorized>

which works on most of the browsers around. I don't know though, maybe I got the syntax wrong :S

cheers,

Chris
