I have an Intranet Website and when I does not log in from my Domain ID, browser automatically generate pop-up for Domain ID Username and Password.

Now the Problem is when I close my browser and some another user uses my Computer and opens the same browser, Browser will not again generate Pop-Up for Domain ID Username and Password and directly open the Intranet Website with my Domain ID.

Is there any way to terminate the session with AD Server when I Log-Out or close my browser.?

Thanks in advance

    Active Directory server does not have a way to manage client connections to the server. All it does is manage the user credentials and accessibility. To switch roles or users in the active directory, you’d literally have to log off of windows and go back on.

    Here is a perfect article that explains how to capture an active directory user logging into your website:

    To replicate how YOU want users to log onto your site, your best bet is to go with Form Authentication, rather than using your Active Directory credentials. The mindset with Form Authentication is that you might have multiple users use the same computer logging into your website. Windows authentication has the mindset where only one user can log onto a computer so use that person’s credentials by default to log onto the intranet website.

    You can have the client send a request to disconnect from the server.

    You can also attempt to manage the User’s session during log on as well:

    the Abandon method seems to do the job that you’d want it to do.

    Aside note: as a programmer using windows authentication, you don’t have to worry about extra layers of security, but with Form authentication you have to keep security measures in mind.
