GetLoginChallenge Does Not Pass Back the AuthHeader in JavaScript (303694)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Passport 2.0
This article was previously published under Q303694

SYMPTOMS

The GetLoginChallenge method does not pass back the AuthHeader in JavaScript.

CAUSE

JavaScript can only pass in string variables by value, not by reference. This means that an Out parameter cannot be set by a function.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, make sure that your function passes back a variant array with both the URL and the AuthHeader. Use the AuthURL API to get the login URL.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
