I don't think so although you may have to go through some hoops to kill cached cookies on IE prior to having this work. (is it possible that you hadn't cleaned your IE cookie cache prior to doing the re-test?) I am not having this problem with IE with these settings.

Here's the rest of the relavent section of my settings.php scripts in case there's something that I've forgotten.

ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&'); ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', 0); ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase', 0); ini_set('session.cache_expire', 200000);

#Dont remember logins ini_set('session.cache_limiter', 'nocache'); ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 0);

ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime', 200000); ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user'); ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1); ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', 0);

Dave,

Thanks very much for the info! It seems that it doesn't work correct in IE, only in Opera (didn't test FireFox), which means the code is correct, but IE's bugs prevent it from working. Is there any difference you know about between the ways these two browsers handle these settings?

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated...

Regards,

Kobus

It's true that auto-password population is controlled by the browser, but its also true, (at least when I downloaded drupal) that the default cookie settings would leave a persistant drupal session cookie after you closed your browser. So when you opened the browser from the same workstation and went to the same drupal site you would still be logged in unless you had explicitly logged out before leaving.

The resolution is to add the following to you settings file for each drupal site.

#Dont remember logins ini_set('session.cache_limiter', 'nocache'); ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime', 0);

Is that closer to what you were looking for Kobus?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but while the auto-fill of the login screen is browser related, the remaining logged in default for Drupal I believe is related to the php session settings, which you can change in /sites/default/settings.php. You can't prevent people from locally storing their login info, but the logged-in session itself can be set to expire sooner, or upon closing the window, or both.

Hi,

Is there a way to disable automatic user login (in other words, user logs in, exits site without logging out, and open site again, and is automatically logged in) and rather /prefill/ the username and password box with the values used to recognize the person logged in? Is this stored in a cookie or something?

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks in advance,

Kobus
