How do I get the Username out of the cache?

  • Follow


I finally got (most of) the kinks out of a DB that allows users to log
in and make changes to their record. I need to allow certain users to
log into more than one account, using different usernames (and
passwords).

The problem is that the first username they use remains embedded in the
HTML page that they go to for starting off the login process, ie
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="username" VALUE="george">

How do I allow the user to start fresh?
I don't want to have to tell them they have to close their browser and
reopen it.
And refreshing the page (even with the shift key) does not work.
I also tried adding META tags to try to keep the content from being
cached.

How is this done?

Thank you,

Bennett

I did some searching and found the following post from another list in
December of last year from someone who emailed Filemaker tech support:

"Since browsers first started implementing basic authentication,
website administrators have wanted to know how to let the user log out.
Since
the browser caches the username and password with the authentication
realm, as described earlier in this tutorial, this is not a function of
the server configuration, but is a question of getting the browser to
forget the credential information, so that the next time the resource
is requested, the username and password must be supplied again. There
are numerous situations in which this is desirable, such as when using
a browser in a public location, and not wishing to leave the browser
logged in, so that the next person can get into your bank account.

However, although this is perhaps the most frequently asked question
about basic authentication, thus far none of the major browser
manufacturers have seen this as being a desirable feature to put into
their products.

Consequently, the answer to this question is, you can't. Sorry.""

Unbelievable.
