Are you using Firefox ?

Then this bug might be of interest:

So I guess the next natural questions, based on the observations posted here
are as follows:

 

1)  If you close your browser and then reopen it, is the MoodleSession
cookie still there, even though it is marked as "Expires: End of Session".

 

2) What browser and version is that?

 

If the browser is going to hold on to session cookies even when it is
closed, then I'm not sure what you can do.

Hi David,

 

No, I don't have "Remember Me" turned on.

 

As for the cache control headers, I clicked on "View Page Info" while on my
secure page (in Firefox) and this is what I saw :

For the session cookie, here's what I saw :

If not, it is possible that either the session cookies from your site are
persistent (with an an explicit Expires/MaxAge) or else the cache control
headers are allowing some pages to remain withing the browser cache.

Hi,

 

I noticed that closing and reopening my browser allows me to access
protected webpages on my CASified site.

 

This could be a problem if I logged in from a public computer (internet
cafe, etc).

 

Is there a way to secure against this ?

 

Regards,
Danny
