browser not asking authentication

[Former Member]

Hi

I have a sceanerio - WDA application running standalone

When i open a browser and run the application by providing WDA URL, it asks for authentication. Now i opened another browser session without closng first, it does not ask for authentication.

I have standard logon procedure for application in ICF service node.

I want the application to ask for authentication every time.

Thanks & Regards

Harsimran,

I think that is how the browser behaves.you have already opened one session using username and password and cookies are stored so when you open a new browser cookies are passed on to it and it is not asking for any username/password

Bala,

thanks for reply

But even when i close the application window and there is some other browser window open, it stores authentication

so when i open new browser window n again open application, it doesn't ask username/passwd.

So isnt there a way to delete cookies on exit of applcaition

Thanks & regards

Hi,

Try to use this method DELETE_COOKIE_AT_CLIENT of CL_HTTP_RESPONSE to delete cookies and test your application, there are other methods for deleting cookies in this class.

You should never interact with the REQUEST/REPONSE object directly in Web Dynpro. There is no safe API for access to these objects. Instead consider using a Logoff Page in the SICF Node and using this example code from Help.SAP.COM to delete the authentication cookie:

Hi Thomas

I have implemented Log off page in SICF. This works fine when user clicks logg off link in wda application

But it does not work when user closes the browser by using cross(X) on top right side of IE explorer.

Moreover i am facing this issue only in IE8. It is working fine in IE7

Thanks & regards
