title: How to retain session-state from iframe in a pop-up?
body: <p>I'm making a web application for a customer that has clients who want to put the login to the app inside of an iframe on their web sites. On a succesful login we want to open the app in a new pop-up window, but it seems that the logged in session is only retained inside of the iframe and not in the main window or in the pop-up. This is only a problem in IE, not in any other browser.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a working way to implement this?</p>
  
  <p>The flow is this:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>User goes to client's website (www.url1.com)</li>
  <li>User logs in to app, which is in an
  iframe (from www.url2.com)</li>
  <li>App in iframe validates login</li>
  <li>App in iframe uses window.open to
  open the app in a new, separate
  window</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Fiddler shows that what happens in the iframe is attached to one iexplore process and what happens in the main window is attached to another. This obviously is the problem, can it be worked around?</p>
