Browser caches user authorities when using Waffle security

When using Waffle security (with Spring security, in my case) I discovered that both Internet Explorer (9) and Firefox (5) caches authorities bounded to user. I discovered this when I’ve chagned required user group to access my application and then I added current user to required group but no change. I couldn’t gain access. After some debugging it appeared that Waffle returns unchanged set of authorities for current user.
Reloading browser, tomcat and clearing all caches and data didn’t work. I’m sure that Chrome would work neither.
Firefox has convenient way to clear active logins. Click Tools-> Clear recent history -> [check]active logins

Finally I got the solution – user should logout and login again into windows box…

Turing completeness II

Well, as I wrote in the previous post, sed is a Turing complete language. We can use it to implement some simple algorithms, or even a dc interpreter. But what does it really mean? How complex tasks may we achieve using plain sed?What about writin...Well, as I wrote in the previous post, sed is a Turing complete language.
