Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

In TWiki.WebLeftBarLogin you can remove the section

%IF{"$ LOGOUT != ''" then='%BR%<ul><li class="patternLogOut">%LOGOUT%</li>

However if you specify in twiki/bin/configure to use persistent sessions the users may need that not sophisticated feature. Otherwise the web browser will always open with an open session, which may lead to security issues.

See also context identifiers in IfStatements and VarIF.

Thanks both. Actually, I find if I choose ApacheLogin as LoginManager, the Logout link disappears automatically.
