Composite App and Authentication

I’m building a composite app in Notes 8 and have a problem with authentication. One view has a Notes Form which allows the user to select an institution. When the user selects that institution, a URL is pushed out on the wire that points to a NotesView in another database categorized by the institution’s ID. A second composite app view has a managed browser. The URL from the first CA view is wired to the ‘Set URL to browser and load’ action on the managed browser. If ANONYMOUS has reader access in the second database, no problem. If I remove access, then the user needs to authenticate. When the user enter’s their ID and PW, all is fine until they close Notes. There is an account set up for HTTPS in the Preferences, but evidently that isn’t called when the browser needs credentials. Does anyone know how to get around this? Will I have to pull the credentials out of the KeyStore myself? And if so, how do I get them to the managed browser?

Thanks for any information about authentication and composite apps. It seems that there isn’t too much info out there on how to do it.

Regards,

John

Subject: Here’s how I did this

I pulled the Domino LTAP token from the users Domino Mail Server, then put that token in to a header of the embedded browser.

This works if the website you’re going to obviously s sharing the LTPAToken.

I experienced a similar issue with Sametime, the only assumption I could come to, was that all of IBM internal plugins don’t authenticate, as when I discussed it in Beta meetings etc. they appeared dumbfounded as to why people would need to do this.

Subject: Well, that’s part of the battle

Thanks Carl. Like you said, that’ll work for the Notes and WebSphere pieces. Still have to figure out how to work with the other sites.

Now to learn how to get the token.
