[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have implement SPNego module in EP 7.0, now when I want to log off with the link (up on the right) with IE7 it don't work fine. The browser back on the same screen without close the application.

Some one can help me?

Thanks.

Hi,

When you use this login module (as you know) there is no need to enter any userid or password during logon, so when you log off instead of being returned to the login screen (which does not get shown) you are actually being logged back in again

The solution is to configure the application to display a logoff page instead of trying to return to logon screen. The logoff page could simply say "Thankyou, and Goodbye - please come back soon" !

Take care,

Tim

Thanks, your answer is helpfull.

But the users want to close the page and I don't know how I can do this.... In IE6 this issue there isn't.

Is possible that is a bug of IE7?

Thanks.

Can you explain what happens in IE6 when the user logs out of the application ? Is the window automatically closed, or do they get a goodbye message ?

The user automatically close the application.

Without knowing the details of the problem, or what application you are using it is hard to understand why you are getting different resutls with IE6 and IE7.

You are telling me that the user can close the application with IE6 - what does this mean ? Is there a button to logoff the application which appears in IE6, but not in IE7 ? is it possible for the user to close browser when they are logged onto app when using IE6, but they cannot close browser when using IE7 ?

Have you also tried with Firefox ?

Does this problem occur for all users ?

I am looking forward to getting the detailed description of your problem so I might be able to understand and help.

Thanks,
