[mapguide-users] RE: Avoiding Authentication Prompt on Startup

[Ismael Cams]

Hello Shaneb,

were you able to solve this problem ? I am having the same problem with both
mapguide and my webapplication running on the same server. This is a big
problem because now I am forced to allow anonymous access to my own
application what I certainly do no want because of the sensitive
information.
Any help would be appreciated very much.

Thanks in advance.
