I guess I wasn't clear--I'm not arguing against using AccountManagerPlugin. I'm saying remove the logout link for the people that _are_ using HTTP Auth. In practice, the logout link does nothing for them. > You controle the access of anonymous-users (e.g. restrikt everything but > register). Users can register on the trac-side.

Or maybe a legacy requirement to use HTTP Auth? It doesn't matter what the reason is--people continue to have reasons to use it. But even for the case of ldap, or any other custom authentication provider/plugin, they could show the logout link, as I mentioned. One of the fundamentals of Trac seems to be giving people choices, so perhaps logout link visibility should just be a configurable parameter for HTTP Auth (i.e. the case when no other providers are configured), which a default of hidden.
