RELOGON

The Relogon function allows users who are logged on to WebSite Director (WSD) to log on with a different User Name and Password (or with the same User Name and Password) without restarting WSD.

Note: For relogon to work properly, your browser must be configured to accept cookies (see below). Also see Cookies for more information.

To Re-logon on to WSD, click [RELOGON] or the Relogon icon . on the Application Desktop screen. The browser displays a window for entry of the User nme and Password.

• To complete the Relogon and return to WSD with the new User Name and Password, type the User Name and Password and click OK. 
• To Cancel the Relogon, click Cancel. WSD displays the message, "You are now logged out from WebSite Director Express. To fully exit WebSite Director Express, close this browser window". Click "Close" to close WSD and your browser, or click "Relogon" to return to WSD with the same User Name and Password.

How Cookies are used for the Relogon process
When a user attempts to log on to a currently running version of WSD using the Relogon function, the system uses cookies to create a temporary placeholder betweeen the time the user requests the relogon and the successful validation of the user's username/password combination. The Relogon process works as follows:

1. You are currently logged on to WSD and click Relogon
   • WSD sends the following cookie: RelogonInProgress=Yes (persists until Forever)
   • The Browser displays "Authentication Failed. Retry?"
2. Clicks [OK]
   • The Browser displays the User Name/Password dialog box
3. Type the User Name and Password and click [OK]
   • WSD sends the following cookie for the new User Name and Password:
     RelogonInProgress=<space> (persists until Expired)
     Note: the Expired date is currently set to Dec. 1969
   • The browser displays the WSD Appication Desktop showing that the new User Name is now logged on.
