Correct.

I am not positive, but you are able to have basically completely separate pages in the task pane, so if you don't use any connection to MapGuide, then you should be ok because the Task pane is just a frame.  Like I said, I am not positive but in my opinion it should work.

Thanks for the proposed solution Martin. 
Unfortunately I thought it would be a good idea to have the application
integrated as much as possible in the MapGuide viewer. As a result all the
actions are started from within the toolbar (to have one look and feel) with
invoke URL commands and showed in the taskpane. This might not have been a
good idea after all ... 

As the application contains a lot of code and I will not have the time to
completely rewrite it, I hope there is a workaround possible to overcome
this.

	This is only one way to do it, I'm sure other people will chime in with

	These are non-geospatial databases. Basically I get the id of a feature
	(e.g.
	parcelnumber) out of the map and need to get information out of these
	databases based on the id. The kind of information is very different (e.g.
	reports, parcel information). The used database vendors are ranging from
	SQL
	Server, MS Acces to Oracle. The access is done with a direct connection
	(not
	via FDO) towards the databases.
	One thing that should be possible for example is to add new information to
	the database based on a spatial filter in the map. But not everyone is
	allowed to this, neither is everybody allowed to generate reports.
	Each of these handlings are separate .aspx pages that need to be secured
	based on the user that is logged in (windows users). Therefore I need to
	work with Integrated Security. 

	Hope this gives a clear picture of what I try to achieve.

		Hello,

		I have posted this message alreay a couple of times, but until now nobody
		could provide me with an answer.  
		As I see this as a basic functionality on IIS I assume someone should
		have
		already ran into this problem too. 
		I am using the .NET API to develop an application around MapGuide. This
		application is accessing external databases. I have set up my own
		application with Integrated Security in order to prevent unauthorized
		users
		from accessing this databases. Unfortunately this is causing problems
		with
		MapGuide. I have already tried to change the security of the MapGuide
		directories in different ways, but I run into the problem that either the
		viewer is not correctly working or I can not login to the MapGuide Studio
		anymore.

		Is it in first place possible to work with MapGuide and Integrated
		security
		and if yes how could this be achieved ?

		Is it maybe possible to disable the MapGuide security somewhere in the
		templates (note: I am providing the weblayout with user and password but
		without any result) ?

		This problem is keeping me busy already for months, therefore any help is
		highly appreciated.

		Kind regards,
		Ismaël
