Sub Sites - Loggin in and Loggin out.

J

Joe T

Can any one advise how I can add a 'log out' facility to
a sub site within a main website. I have used Frontpage
2003 and have the website on a server with Extensions
installed. Having successfully provided a log in facility
with username and password protection, I need to provide
the reverse and so 'log out' of the protected area and
return to the main website.

If you are just using FP to protect a subweb, and not server side scripts, you can not (and don't need to) log out users,
- but you can just provide a link (external link) to your root web

Stefan,
Thanks. Please excuse my ignorance. I set up the subweb in Frontpage, published the whole site to the server and then set the password protection via unique permissions on the server side within the FP Extensions. I realise that I don't have to log out as such, but when going back to the main site, I can then re-access the protected subweb area withou any further log in process. For me its no problem, but some Users are on public computers and they asked me if I could provide a definte 'log out' so they could atleast feel like they had close the protected area down properly. Does this make any difference.
Many thanks in advance.

Joe,

You need to write an ActiveX control and make calls to wininet to do that.

Unfortunately the login "session" is controlled by IE
- as long as IE is running the connection remains
- exiting IE will break the connection

PS
IMHO
It is never a good idea for public users to access password protected sites w/o clearing cache, and history
If IE is set to remember passwords and IE security is set to automatically log in, the next use can get into the site (even after IE
is closed)
