Hi,
DSpace is letting me carry out activities that require authentication like a new submission after logging out. I did log in with another username and then logged out and now it is displaying my username as being logged in on some pages and the other username on other pages despite me clicking the logout link on both. I also went onto another PC and when I went onto our DSpace site and clicked on the communities/collections site it was displaying my username as being logged in. I have not used this PC since yesterday. We run DSpace as an internal repository but the materials in it are password protected. It seems really random and we don't know what to do about it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I suspect that this is the browser cache at work; I often have it
return authentication-required visited pages after I log out or my
session expires. I'm not sure what DSpace could do about that except
for no-cache tricks that break the Back button entirely (which would
be a bad, bad idea).
I'm willing to be wrong, though -- if you log out, go back to your My
DSpace page, and then click on something requiring authentication
(such as starting a new submission), does it let you do it? If so,
then there is definitely a problem!
