Hi
We have a portal (SPS 2003) for one of our clients and the clients have
their users credentials in Active Directory. So currently when any user tries
to accesses this portal he is prompted with the the credentials box and
depending on his/her credentials the user has access to respective documents
on the portal.
Annonymous Access is disabled for this portal as only authenticated users
can access this portal.
Now we want to implement a "Log Off" button on the portal. SO I did create a
"Logoff.aspx" in the _layouts section. In the code behind I am calling
Session.Abandon(), to terminate the session, but in reality when the user
clicks the back button, he is not asked for credentials.

I tried to search web for this functionality but could not find a
appropriate solution.
I read about the Authentication Button class in the object model but it
shows a Log In button if annonymous access is allowed. We do not want to
enable annonymous access.

Any clues?
Please help. I have spent a lot of time....

Thanks.
