MapGuide authentication. Here’s what else I’m finding. When
the web application is hosted on the same box as the site server (server has
web extensions and site server installed), I’m not prompted.
However, when I separate the web application from the site server (two
different servers) the problem still occurs. Maybe this is a
coincidence?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
