automatic login (3rd party authentication) problem

[sharon3874]

All,
There is a link in one of our application (java based) leads to another application (vendor application written in asp.net). I am passing some information (vendor requirements) in the http header from servlet to the vendor application. I am getting the following error (from IIS logs):

If I login in the normal way (log in page), everything is fine and I am getting the following messages from the IIS logs:
here is what I got when I bring up the login page:

This problem has made me crazy, and the vendor is not giving out the source code.

anyone has any thoughts?

Thanks for your help.

I would ask in one of the msdn forums[/llink]. They have MS employees on the forums who may be able to provide insight into what's happening

I would also try [link forums.iis.net]IIS forums (or forum41) as they may be able to help transalte the logs.

In my experience on this forum. what you asking is way beyond the skill set of most users on this forum. Even I couldn't tell you exactly what those logs mean.

WOW, think much of yourself

The login appears to be failing hence the return the login page with the ReturnURL parameter (which could point to a cookie problem). How are you calling the login page (are you passing POST information?) and if so how and what variables?
