Logout doesn't work

Post by Leise »

When I click on 'Logout' on the lefthand side of the screen, it does NOT log me out.
Even if I close the page, when I type the url again, I am still logged in.
What am I doing wrong?

Not sure, this works fine for me.

So what does happen when you click logout? Do you have any auto-logon tools like roboform?

Also - what browser are you using?

Try and flush the cache before going back to the login page.

Delete the cookies too, then try.

The login/logout system relies on cookies. Make sure that your cookies are getting deleted properly.

Security for the router shouldn't depend on manually deleting cookies, which you would have to do if you are not re-booting when quitting gargoyle.
Also, many users want to keep cookies for sites like this forum ;)
Logout should mean logout, unless the user manually selects an option to have the app remember him.
(I did find that I can just change the url to get logged out.)
Other than that, it is a great app -- thanks!

You shouldn't have to do it manually. The logout works by running a javascript that deletes the cookie for you. I have no idea why it isn't working for you -- I can't replicate the issue.

This strategy is preferable to the alternative, http basic authentication, which doesn't allow you to logout unless you close your browser.
