Dear all,
I have a generic web programming question about the use of cookies for
user authentication.
For various reasons I want to use something like mod_auth_mda
(http://www.frogdot.de/mod_auth_mda/) for user authentication with
apache. Briefly, this sets a cookie in the browser once a user has been
validated and subsequent requests to restricted areas are granted or
not on the basis of the cookie.
I have this working with a servlet generating the necessary cookie and
storing it in the browser. However, I can't work out how to explicitly
log the user out, i.e., how do I remove the cookie ? This is the only
way I can see to log the user out, as an external module actually
processes the future requests; my servlet only handles the login.
All suggestions gratefully received.
Jon.
