BUG: Implementation of IAuthenticate to Bypass the Username or Password Dialog Box May Fail (320153)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming)
This article was previously published under Q320153 SYMPTOMS
When you host the Web Browser control and you implement the IAuthenticate interface to programmatically bypass the authentication process, sometimes Internet Explorer may not call the Authenticate function, which causes an authentication dialog to appear.
CAUSE
This bug prevents Internet Explorer from calling Authenticate when MSHTML is not the current Active Document server.
You can observe this bug when you initially move to a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) page or when you move to an HTML page from an Active Document server other than MSHTML, such as a Microsoft Office document Active Document server or a Visual Basic Document (VBD) Active Document server.
RESOLUTION
You can work around the bug if you move to about:blank before you move to the secure page. You can also move to a non-secure page, which redirects you to the secure page.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
