Description
I am using Basic authentication to protect my entire Trac environment. As such, when a user first tries to view Trac, they are forced to login. This works just fine as the string 'logged in as <username>' shows up. However, because the web browser always posts the authentication credentials when it requests a page, this user can *never* logout. In this case it makes sense to have a flag where you can disable the 'logout' link (and for that matter the 'login' link).

In spite of this ticket being closed wontfix, this did get addressed starting in 0.11. See TracNavigation for details. In short, you add this to your config:
[metanav] logout = disabled



Well, I agree that there's an issue with the logout, but I think the solution is to fix the logout, not disable the link. I've started work on this and have opened ticket #791 for it.
