Hi,
I'm currently investigating an issue whereby a user is prompted for authentication twice when linking out from the Moodle Mobile app to content in a Moodle instance on iOS.
The sequence of events goes like this:
- Login to Moodle Mobile app
- Access course in the app
- Attempt access to a forum
- Embedded browser opens
- Prompt for authentication (CAS - different domain)
- Prompt for authentication (SAML - same domain)
- Access content
In the system browser the sequence of events goes like this:
1. Attempt toe access a forum (exact same URL as step 3 above)
2. Prompt for authentication (CAS - different domain)
3. Access content
The only difference that I can currently see is that the Moodle Mobile app is using an embedded browser.
With this in mind:
Does anyone know what, if any, differences there are between the system browser and the embedded browser?
Additionally would the changes in MOBILE-113 mean that the sequence of events could potentially be:
- Login to Moodle Mobile app
- Access course in the app
- Attempt access to a forum
- Embedded browser opens
- Access content
With thanks.
