Atrium Portal login

Post by JamesMayor »

Once logged into the Atrium portal your login is remembered until you close the browser. Is there any way of turning this off as some of our portal users have multiple logins and it is a nuisance to have them close the browser or clear the cache in order for them to log in with a different identity. An ideal situation would be to make this configured as part of the user set-up if that was possible.

This behavior cannot be changed. Atrium uses HTTP authentication (as opposed to a custom cookie-based scheme), and when HTTP authentication is used, the browser will remember the credentials and send them if challenged, until the browser is closed.

Modern browsers take this even one step further and "merge" all open windows of the browser into the same session for this purpose.

Atrium uses HTTP authentication to allow for integration with various single sign on scenarios, such as Kerberos, etc.

If the user is running an up to date version of Internet Explorer, they can get a new session using File->New Session. This will bring up an IE window that has it's own separate knowledge and memory of credentials.

Thanks David. At least I have a technological explanation I can pass onto users who don't like the browser remembering the credentials.
