Fossil SCM

I create a brand new fossil repository foo.fossil, then use "fossil ui foo.fossil" to open a browser. On home page it says "Logged in as victorl". I click on Logout and get a page that says "To log off the system (and delete your login cookie) press the following button". I press the button, and the page is closed, but homepage still says "Logged in as victorl"

It says "You are currently logged in as victorl", and "To change your login to a different user, enter your user-id and password at the left and press the Login button". I enter the user-id and the password, press the button and the page closes. Still, Home pages says I'm logged in as victorl.

Next I remove all cookies. Same result.

[fossil-users] Login/Logout while on localhost Jeremy Cowgar Wed, 09 Dec 2009 11:56:02 -0800

In another discussion, I read:

i noticed a similar problem a couple days ago - it is impossible to log out when connecting to a local fossil server over the localhost IP. i wanted to test the anonymous captcha filler and had to log in over the IP my NIC gets from my WLAN router in order to be able to log in and out. Any connections over localhost were automatically my admin account, and i couldn't log out.

If you turn on the "Require password for local access" option found under Admin>Access, then you will be able to login/logout while connecting via localhost.
