[j-nsp] Netscreen Authentication

[M.Mihailidis]

Yes it's the cache or authenticated sessions just cleared them both and re
authentication was requested but as it seems I cannot use that feature
because I cannot control or ask the users to clear their web browsers cache
cookies etc etc. The thing is to control them without interfering their
pc.is there any other bypass for this type of authentication or I have to
use Webauth?

Actually it sounds to me like firefox might be pulling up cached data...

Try waiting for the authentication to expire (or manually clear it),
then delete your firefox cache, then hit google and let us know what
happens.
