Logging out of a PHP script with digest authentication

https://bbs.archlinux.org – This has come up all the time, and I feel like I'm just getting over the hunch of learning digest auth.  The problem is that the HTTP specifications have no definitive way to "log out" a user.  If you give the user a 401 and force them to log in again, cached credentials will permit them to log in without seeing another login prompt.  What's your method for forcing a user to login again?I think if I append uniqid() to the username or password, essentially giving it a temporary random salt, every login will be unique making the user getting asked for credentia (HowTos)

Stories similar to Logging out of a PHP script with digest authentication

I've got Fedora 18 with Gnome.

When I click a user name on the login screen, the other ones disappear but the password prompt never shows up. It stays this way for a few seconds, then comes back to the original state with the list of users.

PAM verbosity 2 years 43 weeks ago

Hi all.

I'm really having a bad headache with this. I have PXE diskless clients booting open suse 11.2. The problem is this sec. policy, the user only has 3 tries for login with the correct user and pass, after the third try, the account blocks the user.

I am trying to build and expect script to log into multiple aix boxes and change password.

Can anyone tell me how to export a variable from one perl CGI script to another perl cgi script when using a redirect. Upon running the login.pl the user is prompted to enter user name and password. Upon entering the correct credentials (admin/admin) the user is redirected to welcome page.

My requirement is, the welcome page should display the username.

I am sure that LFD (Login Failure Daemon) checks Apache's error log for failed HTTP authentication attempts ie.

I've just installed 11.10, and am using Gnome shell.

Hello dear friends of linux

I am neither a newbie nor an expert. I am administering a debian webserver (lenny) and run into a strange problem respectively new behaviour.

When I create a new user account I ask users to send me a public key, and want to force users to set the password the first time they log in with keypair authentication.
