Feature Request: Provide Logout or Logoff feature

Post by iluvnagios »

I know that HTTP credential login has caching in the browser. There is no standard or RFC provided mechanism to do this. However, there are some workarounds that work with most modern browsers which would be better than nothing. It could be a config option with a default of off but when enabled a Logoff links appears.

Show a logoff link. When clicked on the client is redirected to: //logoff@MY-SERVER.example.org/nagios/logoff.html
(leave off the http:// or https:// and just use // so the browser automatically chooses the right one as per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4071 ... hey-behave).

The logoff.html page should include a message to the user that they should close all browser windows to ensure they are logged off. (Just to be safe).

This may require an .htaccess or other configuration addition by the admin to set the proper restrictions.
