Thanks for the output, Anders. On 10/01/2012 07:50, ASMR (Anders Sønderberg Mortensen) wrote: > The Java console output is listed below with the debug .jar.

This very much depends on the kind of SSO system you are using I suspect, though I'm far from being an expert on this! From the output you sent, however, it looks like the applet doesn't even get as far as generating debug messages concerning what its doing before the authentication dialog is shown. > We have already been talking about getting around with the problem by putting > the .aln file in a place accessible to everybody, but we are not too happy > about doing it that way. That's quite understandable!
I'm actually having trouble recreating the situation you are observing, and that I described in my previous email. If I stage an applet behind a Basic HTTPAuth server, then I get prompted once after the java console appears, and providing I authenticate correctly, I don't see another authentication box for the lifetime of that java plugin (ie until the console disappears), and all the data loads in fine. This isn't what you've described, and I'm very pressed for time at the moment, so I probably won't be able to replicate the SSO setup you have in the immediate future. If the Jalview applet is actually launching, then you might be able to try a different approach and pass the data to Jalview via javascript after getting it from the SSO-authed server. There's a very simple example here: http://www.jalview.org/examples/javascriptLaunch.html If that does the trick, then you should be able to specify all the other default parameters (defaultColour, etc) in the applet tag and the only difference will be that a javascript button will be shown rather than jalviewLite's own button. Jim. ps. I'd like to resolve this in the future - since there is increasing interest in having Jalview play nice with secure data sources. Would you mind adding some comments about the apache config and browser combinations you are experiencing the problem with on the bug report ? (its at http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-1038 ) .. I'll then try and get around to setting up my own system so I (or someone else!) can experiment with making the applet aware of its security context. _______________________________________________ Jalview-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://www.compbio.dundee.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/jalview-discuss
