1124134 - SSO with Firefox 35 no longer working

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1108971

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[Stefan Pokorny]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20150115134120

Steps to reproduce:

Browsing to SSO enabled intranet websites using SSO (avantfax, mediawiki).
ADS is W2K3 SSO, Webserver is Apache 2. 


Actual results:

Since the update to 35, SSO login is no longer working, and I get prompted for username and Password.

I tried Firefox 36.0b1, which also did not seem to work. But when the password dialog is aborted, refreshing the browser tab results in correct opening of the intranet website.

Using 38.0a1, everything works as expected.


Expected results:

Intranet Website should be opened with current Windows user credentials via SSO.

This looks suspiciously similar to bug 1121895, but that isn't working in Nightly, either, so perhaps you're using kerberos and this is bug 1108971? In which case, can you try the latest beta branch build (not released over the beta update channel, so different from the one you tried before) from: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-beta-win32/1421779559/ and/or the latest release build (we *may* make a 35.0.1) from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-release-win32/1421800773/ ?

If all those builds are broken, too, can you describe in more detail how your SSO setup works? Is it using a proxy authentication mechanism with Auth-Cookies?

We are using Kerberos for SSO.

This 36 Beta works fine!

 and/or the latest release build (we *may* make a 35.0.1)

The 35 Nightly is working fine, too!

An official 35.0.1 release would be nice regarding the automatic updates.

Keep up the good work!
