Logoff buttons let you actively destroy server sessions, do housekeeping on the server and maybe even run codes on the client side. Also it is a user physiological thing that they want to see a logoff button. /Gill -----Original Message----- From: test.future () gmail com [mailto:test.future () gmail com] Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2006 3:41 PM To: webappsec () securityfocus com Subject: Is logoff feature necessary We have a web applicaiton which do not have logoff button. The developer claims that it is unnecessary, since the session can be terminated by closing the browser. Is it correct? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: Watchfire The Twelve Most Common Application-level Hack Attacks Hackers continue to add billions to the cost of doing business online despite security executives' efforts to prevent malicious attacks.
