Maintaining session while opening in external browser

Question

Maintaining session while opening in external browser

Shinde, Sagar 1

Hi Team,

We have a mobile application, where in we have different app urls which we open inside the web view controls.

Opening these app urls inside web view control doesn't ask the user to re-login because the session is getting maintained due to SSO, however if we open any external urls from the web view control inside the external/system browser, the session is not getting maintained and the user is asked to re-login again within the external/system browser.

Is there any way the external urls opening up inside the external/system browser can maintain the session and user doesn't need to re-login? Can this be achieved in both Android and iOS?

Thanks!

Hi, ShindeSagar-4369. The SSO logic is implemented on the web server client, and this function will be available when the URL is loaded both in the webview and browser.

Here are the basic steps to use SSO:
The token is obtained when the application is started for the first time. The token can be the device id.
The token is passed in every interaction between the client and the server.

Please make sure to add the token to the request to maintain the login status on the device.
