Hello my friend,

Your making sure to click "LOGOUT" right?

After you logout,simply refresh the page and you should indeed by logged out!

Good luck!

When you click the back button in your browser, your computer is loading the cached version of the page for you.

Thats due to permanent cookie written in your system by that website.
It is written permanently when you tick check box for "Remember me on this computer".
To get rid of this, just delet cookies from your system from internet explorer.

Hi !,
Today i too faced same problem so have solution now, may be this will help you.
you need to add this code to every page's "init" n not to login page please.

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache) 'stopping caching for login
        If Session("Logged_IN").Equals("No") Then
      Response.Redirect("Login.aspx")
        End If

and here is my global.asax file for your reference.
you need toset your like this.

<%@ Application Language="VB" %>

<script runat="server">

    Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        ' Code that runs on application startup

    End Sub

    Sub Application_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        ' Code that runs on application shutdown
    End Sub

    Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        ' Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
    End Sub

    Sub Session_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        ' Code that runs when a new session is started


        '<summary>
        '   |Fires when the session is started
        '   |Administrator will only be allowed a certain number of login attempts
        '</summary>
        Session("Num_of_Tries") = 3
        Session("LoginCount") = 0

        '   |Track whether they're logged in or not
        Session("Logged_IN") = "No"

    End Sub

    Sub Session_End(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
        ' Code that runs when a session ends. 
        ' Note: The Session_End event is raised only when the sessionstate mode
        ' is set to InProc in the Web.config file. If session mode is set to StateServer 
        ' or SQLServer, the event is not raised.
    End Sub

</script>

I'm able to successfully log out on Internet Explorer, FireFox, and Opera on Windows Vista and in Safari and FireFox on OS X.

Well now I'm confused. [Mods, feel free to undelete the post I deleted and perhaps split this thread.]

I couldn't log out (from FF). I deleted all cookies (crap, but WTH). Then I could achieve a logout.

I logged in to respond to Dani's response which apparently beat my deletion, and now I'm trying to figure out IN/OUT. This end of the pipe is confused.

[edit]Heck just delete my bumpage. I seem to have resolved it on this end.

if u want a demo just visit www.cosmicwebservices.com , I just created a nice authentication and authorization in security section. I gave the save idea here to this thread..

[joshSCH]

Hmm.. actually, I'm now experiencing that problem. I've tried logging out in firefox on ubuntu and vista, but it doesn't ever actually log me out. :-/

if u are using Caching in pages , set them off, or reduce time of caching. Thats one of the main problem developer faces.
