Lock Directories Function

[esaroblo]

With the Password Protect Directories function, it works for the first time. But after you enter it, it saves on your computer or something, meaning you only have to do it once. I don't want that to happen. How would you configure it so you are required to enter the username and password every session.

Thanks.

Hi, it shouldn't log in once, try clearing your cookies (This will log you out of everything.) I guess it doesn't log out for some reason.

You cannot configure it. That is how the Authentication system works. The client's browser caches the infro and can re-use it.

Seriously? That's not good.

Perhaps not, but that is how basic authentication works. It is not the only protection you have available, though, if you're worried about using public computers (or having your machine stolen/borrowed). Mind you, going further requires a little more work than checking a box in your file manager or control panel, especially if you need to ensure that the browser can't remember any of the authentication data effectively.

But I remembered it didn't do that long go.

It did it in Internet Explorer 5 in 1999, as I recall. It depends on the browser; there's nothing you can do server-side to prevent (or cause) it..
