 Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2003 4:05 pm Post subject: Session length on protected pages |
 |
|
I have stored some pages in a protected folder to which I have placed Access Control. When I first go to any of those pages, I am asked to login, but any subsequent visits - even after going to another web site allow me in without having to login.
Even if I clear the cookies and temp files, I am still allowed in. The only way to ensure that I have to login again is to restart the browser - which is not always practical.
Is there any limit the session time for the protected pages?? I am running php scripts.
Thanks |

Access from Abyss that you see is the nature of by design. You will need to have add script to your page for "Cookie Session". Goto Hotscript.com for more informatin on it.

siric,
It is your browser that does things smartly and sends to the server the latest credentials you entered for a given path. If that doesn't works, it will ask you for your user name and password. This can happen if you change the access rules for a given path without closing your browsing session.
When you shutdown the browser, those last credentials are cleared and the browser asks you again for them the next time your restart it and want to access a protected path.
So this is not a bug or a bad feature. It is your browser that makes life easy to you. Imagine if you had to enter your password for each image and page in a protected area!!!

I almost forgotten about that area regarding the Browser feature and depending on the setting of the browser. Good point.
siric, you still will need a script for your task in question. Try to find the "Cookie Session" script and set the timer or limiting it session to auto remove. Goto Hotscript.com for further info.
