web interface: logout button

Postby uelpenich » Sat Jun 18, 2011 5:25 pm

Hello,
I couldn't find any <logout> or <exit> button in the web inferface.

My opinion is that ever opening function <login> hac to have a corresponding closing function <logout>. My fear is that there remains an open session which may be captured by anyone else.

What is your opinion?

session control is included, if you close the browser then the session is terminated, just try it. Open browser and log in, then close your browser and fire it up again and open the webinterface, again the login window will appear.
Of course the session remains open as long as you didn't close your web browser. For example if you use mutiple tabs. You could acces it using more than one tab and also when opening a new browser window on the same PC. But not with two different browses, For instance if you have the webinterface open on Firefox and you start also windows explorer you will need to log in on explorer, no way that it can use the firefox session. However if you open a second version of frefox on the same PC that it won't ask for log in when the other firefox browser window is still open. As said if you close the browser and start it up agin you will need to loog in again (start a new session)
For user on another PC there is no risk that he/she cannot use your session even if it is open.

Hi uelpenich,

:) In the next release, you will be able to log off the session of the web interface without close all browser windows (by clicking on the Blues Brothers pic)...
