Close browser after "logging out" of SURFconext services like Edugroepen and SURFspot


This post is over 5 years old, it may be out of date.

Logging in to websites as Edugroepen, SURFspot, SURFdrive or SURFfilesender with U-number and RU-password, uses SURFconext. If you hit “Logout”, you seem to be logged out, but the browser still has access. Within the browser, you or any other user can connect to any website with SURFconext authentication and will be automatically logged in. Therefore we strongly urge you to close the browser after using a SURFconext service, particularly when using a shared device or workstation.
