Q17.
Why doesn’t the Transformer’s webGUI have a logout button ?
A17.
The Transformer uses HTTP authentication. For every page you request from the
Transformer, your browser sends the username and password from its cache. There is no reliable
way to force the browser to "forget" the username and password, and session management to
work around that would introduce potential security vulnerabilities, so the Transformer does not
provide a log out functionality. To safely log out, close your browser.
Your web browser may have a way to clear cached HTTP credentials. Check your browser's
documentation for further information.
