 Any ideas why a password box pops up on the basic viewer at times even
 though the USERNAME or SESSION has been passed within the main URL query
 string? It would seem the session is not being passed to these child
 pages. It is hard to trouble shoot. If you actually use the user name
 password box it seems to save and work fine. This only happens if you try
 and hide the password box by sending in the user name or api generated
 session id via iframe for example. This has been a long time bug. Any
 ideas on a global fix?

 Using AJAX basic viewer add USERNAME=Anonymous&PASSWORD= to the end of the
 URL string. It will let you in to say Sheboygans site no problem. Now fire
 up Buffer tools and click choose coor (...). Another password box is
 shown. This also happens when you pass sessionid programatically. The only
 work around is to make them enter in password manually and then it does
 not ask on these child pages. This needs to be fixed for us custom
 programming creators for sure.
