Windows Authentication on Chrome

[Maizura Kamaruddin]

Hey. I want to create a logout button to sign out the current user from system.

If I use IE, I can use 

try {

  document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache");

  }

  catch (e) { }

  window.close();

this code, but it seems does not work with Chrome.

Do you have any ways?

[Ryan Sleevi]

No. There is no such way that a webpage can do this using a standards-defined API.

You should consider reviewing https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-credential-management/ , the open issues, and the related mailing list, but so far, every proposal for what you're requesting has been rejected (it conflicts with the web's security model of per-origin capabilities) 

[PhistucK]

Why does it conflict? Unless I am misunderstanding, it signs the user out from the same origin on which this code is executed (in terms of HTTP Authorization credentials). Sounds like a natural thing to do.

I see, it clear all of the authentication cache. Well, I guess a similar API (or even this one) could just clear the cache of this origin.
