GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 527434
Logging out from online.gnome.org
Last modified: 2012-02-28 20:22:41 UTC
The client doesn't do anything when you log out from online.gnome.org from the web page. From hippo-connection.c:on_cookies_maybe_changed() * A future enhancement might disconnect if we no longer have the auth * cookie, but we don't do that for now. That would be easy to do. Some caveats: - If the user is logged into both mugshot.org and online.gnome.org,they'll never figure out that they need to log out of both. We probably need to use our Firefox extension to blow both sets of cookies. (Ugh!) - We don't get notification on cookies chnages on Windows. However, where IE (wininet) stores it's cookies is well know, so we should be able to set up a monitor there. - We have to make sure that the desktop-data-model is completely cleared back to the unauthed case, and not just to the "disconnected, information cached state". We may actually want to remove the cache database. (Though what if we aren't running the d-d-m? Then the cache database will still be left behind, so the advantage of blowing it in the active loss of auth case is maybe not so big.)
"desktop-data-model" will not see active development anymore according to its developers. Closing this report as WONTFIX - Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
