Good idea. Let's add a button/text. If the user selects this path, they will logout the previous user, and be redirected back to the URL. Since the URL required (unsatisfied) reauthN, there should be no cached cookies, the "CHECK" will fail, a new service cookie will be set, and a login will be triggered.

Again with the "just for concept communication purposes, this is not the actual text" I've added Cory/Wes' suggestion to the reauth mockup page located at: https://cosign-test.www.umich.edu/reauth.html
