Security issue

    Hi,

    When a user is logged in and then log out, lets say using his profile menu, the form sends him to for instance the home page. He leaves now and let his laptop powered on, to come back later.

    In the meantime, somebody else is able to enter his logged-in page by pressing the “back” link of the browser and change or steal everything he likes.

    Maybe you have a solution to force people to login in this special case.

    Thank you,
    Felix

    Hi @polderme,

    Are you referring to the locally cached pages by your browser?
    The browser will display the cached page, however, if you try to go to other restricted page or reload the current page this won’t work.
    You can use incognito(private window) or clean browser cache.

    Regards.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your quick reaction.

    It was really premature to sound the alarm bell. Of course I’m testing on a local server with my laptop and inside the local network. I did the cleaning. Everything ok. Should have done this before.

    Apologies!
    Felix
