Login / Logout Session
Graham Lewis | Posted 7:53am 17. April 2002 Server Time |
I have a login page that uses Session Cookies to take a user to a secure page. Stupid question probably, but, how do I securely log them out again without closing the browser window. i.e a logout button taking them back to the login page.
Thanks

You can just use Session.Abandon on the page that logs them out.

I tried this but it doesn't seem to work. I can just use the back button to return to the secure page?

You can make the login page clear the session variables when it first opens, which basically logs the user out.

Also it would be a very good idea to expire the page & its cache at the beginning...

How do you expire the page and it's cache?

Putting this:
<%
Response.Expires = 60
Response.Expiresabsolute = Now() - 1
Response.AddHeader "pragma","no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "cache-control","private"
%>
At the top of the page should do it.

There are really only two basic things to do with cookies:
1. Write them to the visitor's computer (using the RESPONSE command)
2. Retrieve them from the visitor's computer (using the REQUEST command)
1. Example of Writing a cookie:
<%
Response.Cookies("VisitorsName") = "change"
Response.Cookies("VisitorsName").Expires=#January 01, 2010#
%>
2. Example of Reading a cookie:
<%
Dim TheVisitorsName
TheVisitorsName = Request.Cookies("VisitorsName")
Response.Write(TheVisitorsName)
%>
