Clear the credentials from UIWebView

问题

What i am doing here is, fetching a URL which has authentication. Hence, i use the function

  - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge;

When it faces authentication, i present a UIAlertView to enter the username and password and if user has entered it correctly, this method is called.

  - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response;

in this method, i make the login window disappear and bring in the detail view.

Problem arose, when i wanted a logout functionality. All i want is to remove the credentials entered by the user and fetch that URL again, for authentication= purpose. So, i call the didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge.

But what happens is it directly goes to the didReceiveResponse method without asking anything. The problem here is that i am not able to clear the credentials. Can you help me in doing this?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Try Code for Clear cookie of Request

NSHTTPCookie *cookie;
NSHTTPCookieStorage *storage = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];
for (cookie in [storage cookies])
{
    NSString* domainName = [cookie domain];
    NSRange domainRange = [domainName rangeOfString:@"twitter"];
    if(domainRange.length > 0)
    {
        [storage deleteCookie:cookie];
    }
}

I know this is an old question, but I have the answer here:

It turns out that cookies aren't the only way that UIWebView stores data. There's also this persistent thing called NSURLCredentialStorage and the only way to clear it is thus:

NSLog(@"Logging out...");

// Clear credential storage
NSURLCredentialStorage *credentialStorage = [NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage];
NSDictionary *credentialProtectionSpaces = [credentialStorage allCredentials];

for (NSURLProtectionSpace *protectionSpace in credentialProtectionSpaces)
{
    NSDictionary *credentials = [credentialStorage credentialsForProtectionSpace:protectionSpace];
    for (NSString * username in credentials)
    {
        [credentialStorage removeCredential:[credentials objectForKey:username] forProtectionSpace:protectionSpace];
        NSLog(@"clearing: %@", username);
    }
}

NSLog(@"checking...");

credentialStorage = [NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage];
credentialProtectionSpaces = [credentialStorage allCredentials];
for (NSURLProtectionSpace *protectionSpace in credentialProtectionSpaces)
{
    NSDictionary *credentials = [credentialStorage credentialsForProtectionSpace:protectionSpace];
    for (NSString * username in credentials)
    {
        [credentialStorage removeCredential:[credentials objectForKey:username] forProtectionSpace:protectionSpace];
        NSLog(@"checking: %@", username);
    }
}

You''ll find that the usernames show the first time, but don't show when checking the second time through the same loop. They've been deleted from the NSURLProtectionSpaces.

Great question, and in my case I couldn't figure out why we couldn't log out of a web view.

I used some code from the first answer, but wanted to delete all the cookies in the whole thing rather than just ones associated with a certain string or URL. Here's what I did:

NSHTTPCookieStorage *cookieJar = [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage];

for (NSHTTPCookie *cookie in [cookieJar cookies]) {
    [[NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] deleteCookie:cookie];
}

And this worked! Now when you logout it goes back to the original login screen every time.
