Hint
URL for user logout from the firewall can be added to the web browser’s toolbar as a link. User
can use this “button” for quick logout.
User password authentication
If an access to the web interface is attempted when an authentication from the particular
host is still valid (the user has not logged out and the timeout for idleness has not expired —
see chapter
) but the particular session
has already expired, WinRoute requires user au-
thentication by password. This precaution helps avoid misuse of the user identity by another
user.
Under such conditions, a special version of the login page is opened.

User authentication by password
Authenticated user connecting to the web interface can continue their work in the interface
after entering their password. If a new user attempts to connect to the web interface, the
connected user must log out first and then the new user is asked to authenticate by username
and password.
Session is every single period during which a browser is running. For example, in case of Internet Explorer, Firefox and
Opera, a session is terminated whenever all windows and tabs of the browser are closed, while in case of SeaMonkey,
a session is not closed unless the Quick Launch program is stopped (an icon is displayed in the toolbar’s notification
area when the program is running).
