Issue with Integrated Authentication in NW.js: Works in iframe but not in New Window

[Sadu, Madhu]

Hi Team,

 

Previously we used an iframe to load content from a website in the NW main window. When doing so, if the website supported NTLM authentication and if either with the correct AuthServerAllowlist policy or if the website was an intranet site nw.js would correctly handle integrated authentication automatically. Recently we moved to loading the website in a new window instead of an iframe, but now integrated authentication is no longer happening. We are using the following options to open the new window:

 

const windowOptions = {

        width: 1200,

        height: 800,

        position: 'center',

        id: "sso_window",

        resizable: true,

        // Share session with main window

        new_instance: false

    };

 

Is there a known reason integrated authentication would work in an iframe but not in a new window?

 

Thanks,

Madhu
