 How can I allow a user to sign off from an AS/400 web application from the browser?
I have built a simple web application that uses a web front end to an RPG program.  Upon entering the URL the user is forced to enter a valid AS/400 user ID and password - in a similar manner to a password protected directory on a Linux server using Apache - utilizing a pop up window to collect the information . 

How can I build a signoff button the will end the 400 session and require re-authentication?



Software/Hardware used:
As/400 Apache RPG

If the user doesn’t “sign off”, does that mean she can come back in later without “signing on”"? If the user starts a second browser window, will that work within the “signon” of the first browser window? What happens if a link is opened in a new tab within a browser session — is that within the same “signon”? Can the user start a second browser window and “sign on” a second time? …to the same user profile? …to a different user profile?

There would be ways of handling sign on/off, but you’ll need to set the operational parameters.
