Re: Form authentication in page viewer web part?

Yes, TJ........if a user logs into your app and then closes the browser,
when that same user re-opens the app they will have to authenticate again.
That is what SharePoint is doing, when the SharePoint page reloads, it
reloads the iframe the same way a "brand new" I.E session would be opened in
your app (it has no idea the user was authenticated). I hope that explains
it..........it about the best I can do.

No sure what is going on with your app and other operating systems but I
would get that fixed before trying to use the iframe in SharePoint. Also
make sure to use the code Adam gave you to keep the user authenticated when
the SharePoint page re-loads.

Yes, You are right Dan.
I have a seperate web app that uses form authentication. It is hosted in
Page Viewer we part in SP.
BTW, also thanks Adam for your answer.

Can you explain a little bit more about this?

What he is missing is that when the SharePoint page (not the
iframe) is refreshed, it's the same as a user authenticating to his app
(outside of SharePoint) then closing the browser and re-opening his app.

I am trying to understand what you meant by this...

You mean....

When user authenticates the login page if it is being hosted in page
viewer
web part, in successful log-in, it is same thing that user closes my app
and
re-open?......um....?

I think you are trying to explain to me why this behavor is happening to
the
login page in the page viewer web part.....

BTW, I tested this from Windows XP, 2003 and 2000 machine...
The strange thing is that Windows XP and 2003 didn't work like I explained
before...
However, when I tried to log-in from Windows 2000, it worked as
expected...I
could see the main page from Win2000 system.

Strange....um...

Ram,

I don't think he means "Form Authentication" to SharePoint , if so, Adam
and
I are way off. I think he has his own app, that a user can authenticate
via
a form. What he is missing is that when the SharePoint page (not the
iframe) is refreshed, it's the same as a user authenticating to his app
(outside of SharePoint) then closing the browser and re-opening his app.
What would the results be, pretty obvious, user has to authenticate
again.
That is why Adam and I suggested a cookie approach.
