Even though you are using the OWA_DEFAULT_SERVICE, this is not the dcd you need.
Lets say you had:
authenticate = my_dcd my_other_dcd
In the svXXXX.app file in the [DBAUTH] section and you had the owa_default_service setup and /my_dcd was mapped to the DBAUTH cartridge. You could then run:
http://yourHost/my_dcd/owa/SomeProcedure
This would prompt you for a username/password. Once you enter that, you get to see the results of the SomeProcedure routine. Anytime you used http://YourHost/my_dcd/owa/* it would reuse that password. To "logoff" you would now enter the URL:
http://yourHost/my_dcd/owa/LogMeOff
Now, simply enter bye, exit, logoff, log, or quit in the username field of the basic authentication dialog and hit enter. You'll get a page that says "You have been deauthenticated". To verify, try to goto the page
http://yourHost/my_dcd/owa/SomeProcedure
Again, it'll ask you for your username and password again.....
