How to "Un-authenticate" a user from a Basic Authenticated, sessionless site

[mike]

Hello.

I have a web site that is using Basic Authentication (yes, I am using HTTPS)
and is sessionless (I am maintaining session state in a database via a
custom component).

When the user clicks "Log Off", or when a cookie expires, I want to
Un-Authenticate the user so that he/she cannot back-pedal to a page without
having to sign in again.

Basically, I want to clear the users credentials.

Anyone know how?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

Hi, Curt.

The site is sessionless, so there is no Session object.

Re: How to &quot;Un-authenticate&qu ot; a user from a Basic Authenticated, se

My bad... thought you were storing the credentials there.
Basically, if they authenticate the security ticket is issued. Short of
closing the browser there isn't a whole lot (that I'm aware of) that you can
do to clear this.
It's why you always see the nice warnings about making sure you close your
browser.
