access an sso partner application through an iframe without reauthenticating

I have an application (written using apex) that is an sso partner app. I want to be able to embed the application within a portlet (probably a dynamic page portlet generating an iframe) in my portal. When a user access the portal page that contains the iframe they are initially forced to reauthenticate within the iframe.

The problem lies in the sso session. I think when you access an application through an iframe it treats everything in the iframe as if it were in a separate browser session. This means that when you try to access the application in the iframe it still redirects you to the sso server even though you are already authenticated via portal.

So this is the problem, has anyone got any ideas on what the solution might be? Received on Wed Jan 03 2007 - 07:56:43 CST
