Terminating Session using Apache and Django

Question

On a system I have developed It requires me to login using a standard and simple username and password combination.

The system I use is Django does anyone know how I can kill this session so that when a user presses log off it invokes the login screen again.

Cheers,

Seems to me like you need to redirect your view when logging out, anyway: if you use django-auth system, the session is killed when you logoff the user. — Jingo, Jan 31 '12 at 16:28

If you are using the default authentication system django.contrib.auth, you simply need to create a view that calls django.contrib.auth.logout() and wire a url to it.

Luckily, the auth app already has a view that does this, so you simply need to redirect the user to

/logout/
