[mapguide-users] MapGuide Viewer asks for Password on Right Click

[Chris Claydon]

I can reproduce this behavior if I include a valid session ID in the URL used to launch a web layout in a browser. E.g. 

http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapviewerajax/?WEBLAYOUT=Library%3a%2f%2fSamples%2fSheboygan%2fLayouts%2fSheboyganPhp.WebLayout&LOCALE=en&SESSION=33433ada-0000-1000-8003-005056c00008_en_906FAA630AF20AF10AF0

The session is used for authentication, so I don't get prompted for a username and password when the page loads. However, if I then right-click on the properties pane, the authentication dialog pops up. This is presumably because the session ID does not get passed into that pane, which is a bug.

If I don't specify the session ID in the URL, I have to authenticate up front, which sets the credentials in the headers used by the browser for all subsequent requests - hence no more password dialogs.

Note that Studio does include the session ID in the request used to generate its previews. This is why the secondary authentication bug manifests itself.

Chris.

Here is something strange. It only pops an auth box in IE7. Firefox is good
to go :X

We've seen this behaviour in the Layer Preview within Studio. You can drag
to expose the legend. If you attempt to enable the layers the Authentication
fires. Whatever frame code is here likely is not getting the session id
passed to it is my guess.

I haven't seen that even when using my own wrapper.  The sample application
does not behave that way either.  I'm wondering if you have some other web
server authentication issues going on.

It happens when you bring in the viewer using your own wrapper. The use does
not have to enter in the password since your app does the user auth session
id stuff but then right clicking on the left bars (Layers/Properties) brings
up a enter user password box.

Basically the development guide walks you through using the viewer in your
own frame or iframe so I am sure others have seen this. Just was hoping to
not touch code in the viewer so I can get updates when new releases are out.

I don't see that behavior in a web layout in either IE or Firefox ........

Is there a way to fix the viewer so it does not ask the user for a password
when they right click the Layers ^ bar or the Properties ^ bar within the
left frame area?
