In order to close a BSCW session,
• select in
the top menu. Alternatively, press at the upper right-hand corner of
the BSCW interface.
• Before actually closing down your session, BSCW deletes any private data that might have been stored in your browser. Such data are, e.g. backup copies of the integrated HTML editor or locally cached microblogging messages. Subsequently you are presented with the publicly accessible welcome page of your BSCW server.
• With some browsers, you are asked to authenticate again before you can log out. In this case, you must authenticate with an empty password to actually close the BSCW session. Cancelling the authentication at this point does not close your session with BSCW.
For some Web browsers the explicit logout cannot be provided. In this case, you have to close a BSCW session by terminating the Web browser program on your local computer. Until logout or termination of the browser the access rights remain in effect that were granted to you under your user name.
Note: If you share your computer with other people (e.g., in a public Internet cafe), do not forget to close your BSCW session after you have finished working with BSCW.
