How to clear the IE SSL Cache from JS

, 1 min read

This post is from 2007. Some details, links, and recommendations may be out of date.

Just ran accross a good blog post on how to clear IE’s SSL Session Cache, this is useful if you want to have a “logoff” button on a website that uses mutually authenticated SSL.

Specifically a new execCommand was added in to enable this:

// Clear current credentials // Requires IE6 SP1 or later document.execCommand(“ClearAuthenticationCache”, false)
