Author How to ask for password everytime my web page is loaded ?

I created a website in my Win2003 server, only for my clients.
I don't allow anonymous login, then the user is prompted to enter his user
name an password, when he types my URL in the browser.

However, if he goes to another site, and the returns to mine by clicking
Back or Forward buttons, my webpage opens without asking for the password !

How can I force to ask for the password everytime my page opens ?

Thanks,

Elga.

If you are using HTTP based authentication, you can't.

It is up to the browser to send credentials to the server. What is happening
is that the browser is remembering the username/password that worked last
time, and automatically resending those, and the server is accepting them.
Once the user closes their browser, the browser "forgets" the credentials,
and user has to enter them again next time they visit your site.

Cheers
