Expiring IWAUTH cookie

Mashuk

Hi,

I have customised the logout button on Content Center through the ui_custom.xml so that when a user clicks on logout, a cgi script is invoked rather than the standard logout functionality.

I want to be able to expire the IWAUTH cookie, so that the session is terminated and the user cannot go back into Teamsite. I have tried using the CGI::Cookie module to clear this cookie, but this does not seem to work. If I close the window programmatically, then that terminates the session, which is fine in IE6, but with IE7 I do not want to close the entire window as the user may have other applications running on the same window but on different tabs. I can close a tab using javascript , but the session remains active.

I believe I need to expire the IWAUTH cookie as that controls access to TeamSite, but IWAUTH is a server side cookie. Is anyone aware of how I may go and expire a server side cookie?

Thanks in advance

IWAUTH is not Server-Side Cookie. On the Client side you can expire it with the JS by generating something like the following from your CGI script:
document.cookie = "IWAUTH=; expires=Thu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMT; path=/";
