There is no way to log out from Basic Authentication-protected directories.

There are some workarounds that involve redirecting the user to the page but with a new set of fake credentials. However, these workarounds don't work in any modern browsers.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1163868/how-to-logout-when-using-htaccess-and-htpasswd-authentication for more details.

I want to set up password protected directories using the Dada plugin, so I created a test directory for the purpose. I notice that when I logout of the profile area, I am still logged in to the protected directory. Is there a fix for this? I was hoping to have the logout link on the pages in the protected area and allow people to logout when they are done.

Warm regards,

Mary Ann

This mailing list is to discuss the nerdy programming development of Dada Mail -

If you are just looking for support Dada Mail, consult the message boards at:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/boards

To post to this list, send a message to:

dadadev@dadamailproject.com

All subscribers of this list may post to the list itself.

Some on topic... topics include:

Positive Crits on the program (I like, "x", but, "y" needs some work - here's an idea on how to make this better...)
Bug/Error reports
Bug fixes
Request For Comments on any changes to the program
Help customizing Dada Mail for your own internal needs
Patches
Language Translations
Support Documentation/Doc editing, FAQ's, etc.
Discussion of any changes that you would like to be committed to the next version of Dada Mail -

At the moment, there aren't many people with CVS access for Dada Mail - if you would like CVS access, please first talk about the changes you propose and how it will affect the program. If the idea is sound and agreed upon, the change will be comitted. A good track record of this will allow you to have CVS access. Some reasons that patches will not be accepted is if the patch breaks compatibility with a previous version of the program, the patch is too centric to your own problem or the patch simply isn't very good.

Please, please please familiarize yourself with the documentation at:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation/

Since no one wants to answer the same question twice.

Another sneaky reason for this mailing list is to test out the discussion list capabilities of Dada Mail, since Dada Mail is used for the mailing list itself.

NOTE - because of this, there may be times that this list will be somewhat broken. Although we're not planning on breaking the program by using it, we're giving you the heads up that this may well happen anyways.
