Imagine... a Log Out feature!

[Heartsmith]

Here is a feature I would like to see in a future release, a secure "Logout"
button from the back office.

There are occasional times when I need to check our back office from
offsite computers. But I hesitate to, because without a secure log out I am
afraid that someone will get in a few minutes later and do damage to the
store.

Lauren,

At the backoffice URL replace the name or whatever cgi you are on with
'logout.cgi'.

On a side note, if you shut down all the windows of the browser you were
using, it has the same effect.

When I put the "logout.cgi" in place all it does is call up the start.cgi
again.

You should use logout.cgi both from the secure URL and the regular URL.
Likely you use logout.cgi from the secure URL and it logged you out of
the secure area then sent you back to start.cgi, which is in the regular
area where you are still authenticated. If you replace start.cgi it
should log you out of that as well.
