As discussed in this freeIPA users thread https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2015-April/msg00607.html, the 4.1.0 WebUI logout button currently logs the user out, then immediately logs him back in (which defeats the purpose of a log out button).

Either the logout should work as intended. login the user out (and leaving him logged out), or it should be replaced by a "log in as a different user" function.

As an admin user it is often convenient to create a user logged in as an admin user, then let the new user log in to the Web UI (this validates that the user can log in, and allows them to change their password to something not known by the admin).

This can be replicated on remote clients running Windows 7 / Firefox & OSX (Firefox and Safari)
