Revisit Admin Console authentication moving from browser to console

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      At the moment we leave the browser to handle the HTTP authentication, the problem this causes is that browsers don't contain a simple way to forget credentials they have currently hashed so we have ended up with a work around to emulate a log out.

      This task is to re-visit adding the authentication back into the admin console within the java script - as we are using GWT I would suggest we try and visit it in a way that other GWT developers developing their own consoles could make use of. At a central location we need to intercept all HTTP requests for the console and generate the Digest responses as required - the Logout link can then just clean the credentials cached in the console rather than being cached by the browser.
