 What do you mean?  Can one continue to work in sql-ledger after

 changed to make it happen?

Hi Petter,

I was trying to say that I can continue to work in sql-ledger after
logging out. I'm not sure why I was seeing this behavior on my
installation. Currently my version is functioning as expected so you can
close this ticket. I'll try to track it down further if I can reproduce
this behavior.


Thanks,
William

Bug#317925: sql-ledger: Logout does not properly terminate a session

2005-07-12 Thread William McKee
Package: sql-ledger
Version: 2.4.7-2
Severity: grave
Justification: user security hole


Using the Logout option on the menu takes the user back to the login screen.
However, the session is still active which means anyone else may walk up to the
system and use the History or the Back button of the browser to access all
account information for the previously logged in user. This is not a big deal
within a small intranet but poses a security risk on an internet-accessible
server.
