Solution 1:

Finally found the solution:

from django.views.decorators.cache import cache_control

@cache_control(no_cache=True, must_revalidate=True)deffunc()
  #some codereturn

This will force the browser to make request to server.

Solution 2:

You may find you need to use @cache_control(no_cache=True, must_revalidate=True, no_store=True) in chrome to fully stop any back button viewing.

The key thing being no_store for chrome as I found here 1

Solution 3:

+1 for Digital Cake's answer! This solved the problem of backing up into cached pages after logout on FireFox as well. I tried:

@cache_control(no_cache=True, must_revalidate=True)

on my views with no luck. Per Digital Cake, tried:

@cache_control(no_cache=True, must_revalidate=True, no_store=True)

and now Firefox backs up to the login screen.

Solution 4:

I know it's an old question, but the accepted answer did not work for me. i faced the same problem (using django 1.8 & Chrome)

Finally, I found the solution from the docs (django 1.7 or later). This will work for sure.

Just see the code below

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

@login_required(login_url='/login/')defmyview(request):
    return HttpResponse(render(request,'path_to_your_view.html'))

@login_required decorator is used to handle the issue. You can check more in doc

Solution 5:

The reason that you can the admin page, after you logged out and hit back is, that you don't see the real page. Rather you see a copy of it that is in your browser cache.

Try this:

1. go to any admin page
2. click "Logout"
3. hit the "Back" button in your browser
4. press F5 or click "Refresh" in your browser.

Now you will be redirected to the login page of the admin backend.
