How can i disable skipping over the authentication?

behmen Jan 30, 2008 2:57 AM

When i am already authenticated and i dont close the browser and
open the authentication page again, i am not able to relogin.
Is there a way to login again by going to the authentication page without closing the browser?

I think it should be possible to write a page action that does a conditional logout if you enter the page while still logged in.

Is it possible to do some redirection back to the login page after you have forced the logout?

If nothing else fails you can always do the "switch identity" function with a common identity.logout and the next secured request will do the automatic redirection to the login page.

File a feature request in JIRA, at least for docs on how to do this, it comes up often.

You can't simply call Identity.logout() in the page action for your login page, you need to write a new action that only calls Identity.logout() if you're already logged in.
