Closing a soyMAIL Session


TheG   button allows the authenticationGcredentials (username/password) associated with a soyMAIL session to beHcancelled within the browser authentication cache. Logout may not beOavailable for your platform or site. If unavailable the button appears as L   and provides a message to that effect if pressed.

Reasons for using logout:



Procedure to logout:

K

Yes - it is messy but until browsers and/or HTTP support authentication+cancellation in some way it is all we have!

NOTE:KThis method is not completely reliable but without browser support for thisOsort of functionality is the best that can be provided. Subsequent attempts toHuse soyMAIL should result in the presentation of a new username/passwordJdialog. Without entering fresh credentials soyMAIL should not provide anyFaccess to mail. If it does then the browser has not purged the cachedFauthentication details and this method should not be relied on in this instance!
L

If the soyMAIL session was established using authentication other than a0username/password (e.g. digital certificate) theG  button is not present.
