You didn't specify which user folder you are using and if, for example,
you use it with CookieCrumbler or other pluggins. If you use
CookieCrumbler, then you can expire the authentication cookies like
this:

<dtml-call "REQUEST['RESPONSE'].expireCookie('__ac', path='/')">
<dtml-call "REQUEST['RESPONSE'].expireCookie('__ac', path='/')">

I think a redirect is also needed, but I'm not sure.

If you aren't using CookieCrumbler, then you can try the method
described here:
