logout for nagios web interface

[Kevin Keane]

No, unfortunately it is not that easy. The problem is really not a 
Nagios problem, but an HTTP authentication problem. Nagios uses HTTP 
authentication, and that means that the user name and password are sent 
with every single request. So when you try to reset this variable, it 
will get set right back to what it was the next time the user requests a 
page.

HTTP authentication did not envision ever logging out; that is one of 
the reasons why most Web sites today use Web forms and session-based 
logins instead. I think there are tricks around this problem with HTTP 
Auth, though.
