Logout page needs a refresh to take effect

Once a user is logged in they can navigate to the logout page generated by SecurityAssist.

The problem is that the logout does not take effect unless I refresh the page with the browser. I can tell because I can still access restricted pages, until I do a refresh of the logout page.

Is there a solution to this to force the logout to take effect?

can you send a copy of the logout page so I cn take a look at the cod?
it should take effect without needing to be refreshed.

I am sending you the login page and the logout page.

I don't see where the session UserID is set when you login in. Maybe the log out problem is really a problem with the session values not being set or cleared with login and logout.

try changing the line at the end:

session_destroy(); 

?>

to:

session_destroy(); 

session_start();

session_regenerate_id(TRUE);

?>

The logout page still needs to be refreshed for it to take effect.

I am checking this out in two ways;
1. I have a documentation page should not display unless the user is logged in, and it still displays.

2. Also my cart is not cleared out.

However if refresh the logout page, these two cases work fine.

I am using internet explorer 8.

I'm wondering if the https redirect code isnt causing the issue, try changing:

<?php if((!(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']))) || ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "") || ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "off"))header("Location: https://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>

<?php

if (!isset($_SESSION)) {

  session_start();

}

?><?php 

if (!session_id()) session_start();

if ("" == ""){

  // WA_ClearSession

    $clearAll = TRUE;

    $clearThese = explode(",","");

    if($clearAll){

        foreach ($_SESSION as $key => $value){

            unset($_SESSION[$key]);

        }

    }

    else{

        foreach($clearThese as $value){

            unset($_SESSION[$value]);

        }

    }

}

?>

to:

<?php

if (!isset($_SESSION)) {

  session_start();

}

?><?php 

if (!session_id()) session_start();

if ("" == ""){

  // WA_ClearSession

    $clearAll = TRUE;

    $clearThese = explode(",","");

    if($clearAll){

        foreach ($_SESSION as $key => $value){

            unset($_SESSION[$key]);

        }

    }

    else{

        foreach($clearThese as $value){

            unset($_SESSION[$value]);

        }

    }

}

?>

<?php if((!(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']))) || ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "") || ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "off"))header("Location: https://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>

Yes thank you very much,

I changed it so the page was forced to be HTTP: instead of HTTPS: and that fixed it.

There is no reason for the logout page to be secure.

It works fine now!

ok, glad to hear it is working.

One issue related to this is I have a page which must be secure with a similar issue.

It is a registration update page. If I try to run it as a secure page the UserID seems to be old and not the one for the person just logged in.

If I make the page unsecure it works correctly.

I tried moving the code down which makes the page secure but it got the problem back.

Is there a way to avoid this issue and still make the page secure?

I have attached the page. (this is the version which works correctly, that is the unsecured version.)

this suggests that your secure domain and unsecured domain use different browsing session.


what is the url to the secure domain and the unsecured domain?

If they are the same, they should not use differant browsing session.


On an unsecured page add the following:

<?php echo session_id(); ?>

add that same code to a secured page.

the id's should be the same, if they are not, contact your host to find out why the secure and unsecured domains are using different sessions.
