Chapter 9 Web Interface
(see chapter 9.3).
Log out
Once finished with activities where authentication is required, it is recommended to log out of the firewall by using the Logout button. It is important to log out especially when multiple users work at the same host. If a user doesn’t log out of the firewall, their identity might be misused easily.
User password authentication
If an access to the web interface is attempted when an authentication from the particular host is still valid (the user has not logged out and the timeout for idleness has not expired — see chapter 9.1) but the particular session4 has already expired, WinRoute requires user authentication by password. This precaution helps avoid misuse of the user identity by another user.
Under such conditions, a special version of the login page is opened.
