Forcing Reauthentication for a Webform with NTLM auth..ion

[Andrew_Revinsky]

Hi,

please suggest if there is a way (and what is it) to force a web application to "forget" a current user (authenticated with NTLM authentication) and make Internet Explorer show a dialog box prompting for authentication (username/password/domain)? (And then, have this session run under a newly entered credentials?)

The reason for this question is I am trying to implement a functionality of "Logging Off". This option is rarely needed in our domain, but when it is, it's when the web application is run on a "shared" computer.

Thank you for your input on this!

There is no way to remove the browser credentials other than actually closing the browser.

Thanks, Raterus,

so, there is not such solution? Closing a browser means you don't see a web resource, meaning you have to open the browser still. Catch 22.

I know, that for some web resources on our intranet, when a virtual directory (which is mapped to a physical location) is missing mapping credentials, the users receive a standard authentication prompt.

May this behavior be emulated - this is the question?

I have done this,

See "Mixing Forms and Windows Security in ASP." in MSDN for the hint on how
to do this. You make use of Forms Authentication within you application, but
automatically log on the user with NTLM authentication when they first hit
the site.

Your logout button takes them to the Forms Authentication logon page.
