Notes: After logout, authentication is no longer possible

Symptoms:

User presses the login button/link, inserts username and password and gets authenticated. Later he presses the logout button/link, and he is successfully logged out. If he tries to login again, he's unable to because the authentication form is never presented again (unless he closes the browser window and re-opens it).

Possible Solution:

In case the login link is like this:

top.location.href = "/database_path?OpenDatabase&Login">

change it to:

top.location.href = "/database_path?Login&redirectTo=database_path?OpenDatabase">
