Re: [Pws] how to force authentication

Hmm. I've been looking and can't seem to find a solution. The HTTP 401 
code is not really customizable. That's probably why Web developers have 
migrated away from it to using cookies.

Peace and Luck!

 Fellow list members - here's my current swiki quest:
 
 One way we've deployed swikis is on wireless laptops used in  
 different class settings.  Usually the laptops are put to sleep after  
 each session, often with all the programs running, including the  
 browser.  Unfortunately, this means that often those browsers  
 remember the last login info for particular swiki pages, which is  
 less than ideal with shared equipment.
 
 Can anyone suggest a way to include a log out button on each of my  
 swiki pages?  I'd like it to bring up the username/password dialog.   
 This would make it easy to switch between authenticated users on the  
 same machine, or for me to login with higher level authority, make  
 changes, and then log out.  One might also think of this button as an  
 authenticate button.  I'm looking for an alternative to clearing  
 the browser cache, quitting the browser, and restarting it each time  
 - a task that is different on each browser and not intuitive to most  
 of my users.
 
 Any thoughts?
 
 Thanks!

You might consider switching to the AniWebs. They support Login and
logout. You also have much more granular control over
permissions.
