[Grok-dev] Grok UI Manager Logout

[paul]

Hi, Michael

Thanks for the reply.    It's quite possible that the session cookie has 
nothing to do with the manager login, as you say.  It's just that I 
picked up from the Bluebream FAQ that zope3.3 supports logout and that 
it's disabled by default.  The FAQ says that by including

<adapter factory="zope.authentication.logout.LogoutSupported" />

in etc/site.zcml, one can enable logout support.  It's all pretty 
confusing.  A previous version of grok/zope that I used had a logout 
button on the management screen, and that used to work.   I do 
understand that basic auth (not cookie based auth) has no way of knowing 
when the session is closed.  Surely though, even if this is the case, 
one can still _tell_ the session it is closed?

Take care,
Paul
