Just setup the web interface for Monit and was able to access it after entering username and password. However, I was not able to find a way to logout.
Monit uses basic authentication[1] and with this authentication scheme there is no logout. Simply close the browser to "logout".
Closing Internet Explorer, clearing out all cookies and history also failed to prevent another person from accessing the web interface again simply by re-entering the URL.
Access to monit's web interface *will* require re-authentication after the browser was closed. If you can access the application "directly" without authentication it means that you have stored username and password with IE's password manager and that IE now performs an auto-login in the background. It could also be that you are looking at pages cached by IE.
