<TITLE>Taskbar Authentication Issue in IE</TITLE>

<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a custom site using .NET that embeds an existing web layout in a frameset. The main index page is pretty much the same as the ASP.NET AJAX viewer demo page from Autodesk. The connection to the site and a session are created programmatically in the page. The only difference between the demo app and my application in terms of setup is that mine does not physically reside under the www folder and is instead located somewhere else, but the virtual directory pathing in IIS puts it one level below /mapguide.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">However, when I open my site, the frameset and web layout open but the standard MapGuide Open Source username and password dialog pops up. At this point, the entire window is built except for the task bar, leading me to believe that this is what is causing the problem. You can actually just say OK or Cancel at the prompt and everything continues normally and the taskbar builds and appears. I dug around in the taskframe.aspx, taskbar.aspx, taskbar.templ and taskframe.templ and suspect the problem is related to browser detection and authentication. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This problem does not occur in Firefox and this exact setup worked fine in MGOS 0.91. Again, this problem does not occur with the dotnetviewersample application. </FONT></P>
