Unwanted login prompt

Hi.

I have a user name and password set in the SuperContainer server (running stand-alone on a Mac OS X Server 10.6.8) and my fmp solution will load this login info into global variables in it's start script.

When using the web viewer within FileMaker it runs just fine. But - from time to time - when clicking the file icon in the web viewer, my browser will prompt me for user name and password. (And of course this is a hassle since my user do not know the user name and password.)

The server log sais: Login failed for 'null' (wrong username)

But since the web viewer will display the SuperContainer served content correctly, I can't see how the user name or password could be missing.

Any ideas?

The code for my web viewer looks like this:

//Base URL

$$sc_Url

&

//Path

"/path"

&

//Attribut

"?&style=nodelete+info&background-color=white"

&

//Login

"&username=" & $$sc_user & "&password=" & $$sc_password

please try for SuperContainer 2.831 version. Most of the global issues are resolved in it. It might be helpful to you.

Thanks Khurshid! But the new version you are mentioning is the plug-in. Right? If I'm not completely wrong, the plugin is not used when I simply display SuperContainer content in a web viewer or when I click the same web viewer to show the content. Am I right?

For the record: It turned out that I am using the 2.831 version of the plugin. :)

[Edit: Still got problems. Just to clarify.]

Hey there,

this is a known issue that is currently being worked on. I will definitely post back here when a resolution has been reached on this particular problem.

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you and/or your users.

I think I am having the same issue, when my user goes to the Supercontainer layout and the page is loading it prompts for "Authentication Required" and I have set the username and password into web address.
