Basic Authentication – LogOut via Javascript
I found this procedure on Stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/233507/how-to-log-out-user-from-web-site-using-basic-authentication) that allow clear authentication saved in the browser for your site:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 |
function ClearAuthentication(LogOffPage) { var IsInternetExplorer = false; admin = 'n'; try { var agt=navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase(); if (agt.indexOf("msie") != -1) { IsInternetExplorer = true; } } catch(e) { IsInternetExplorer = false; }; if (IsInternetExplorer) { // Logoff Internet Explorer document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache"); window.location = LogOffPage; } else { // Logoff every other browsers $.ajax({ username: 'unknown', password: 'WrongPassword', url: '/', type: 'GET', beforeSend: function(xhr) { xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA="); }, error: function(err) { //alert(window.location.protocol + '//xxxx:xxxx@' + window.location.host + ':' + window.location.port + LogOffPage); window.location = window.location.protocol + '//xxxx:xxxx@' + window.location.host + LogOffPage; window.location = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host + LogOffPage; } }); } } |
