Hi,
I am working for a project of a multinational bank. We had used SSL for client browser security. On risk testing at their end, they have comeup with following issues, which seem quite interesting. Please help me in the following :

1. Using some tool, they have found the the UserId/Password still remains in RAM even after logout. How to clear this?
2. Use cookie as http only. How?
3. Turn off autocompletion in forms. How?
4. Avoid simultaneous logons for same userid. How?
5. A user has logged in on a client, and has not logged out. How to disable other user to login in the same machine from same/different browser( like one in Firefox, other in IE)?

Regards,
Amol

The only downside to using this attribute is that it is not standard (it works in IE and Mozilla browsers), and would cause XHTML validation to fail. I think this is a case where it's reasonable to break validation however.
