Re: Is logoff feature necessary

["Alexis FitzGerald" <alexis () iol ie>]

Hi,

In general, if there is a logon button there should be a logoff button. This
should tidy up the server session etc.

Another concern is that if you have had problems persuading the developer to
put in a logoff button, what other security vulnerabilities might be in the
application-especially if it is processing sensitive information or
transactions. Show the developer the OWASP Top Ten and ask if there are
measures in place within the application to protect against these types of
vulnerabilities.

The OWASP Top Ten is at:  http://www.owasp.org/documentation/topten.html
