Authentication event

[nnemkin]

There should be an event to intercept username/password requests. The host might want to respond silently ot show custom UI.

Hi @nnemkin,

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add this to our backlog!

We are also waiting for this feature... We need to display a custom dialog in 1 case and in the other case, need to read auth info from an encrypted file (API tokens) and set as bearer token header on the request, instead of asking the user for username / password.
Thank you!

@pagoe-msft any timeline / milestone here?

[beretboat]

We're waiting for this too.

This is a long shot but it would be nice to be able to develop a complete app experience and get a call back for smart cards as well so that an app can implement a nice UI experience. What I mean is that instead of seeing the attached image we are given the opportunity of creating our own UI.

+1 for Eclipse SWT support of the Edge Browser, this would be helpful.

I am facing same type of issue with webview2 around authentication.
If the web session times out , the web page throws up an authentication pop-up though we've already done authentication and set session cookies in the back end while opening this web page. Here I am trying to provide a native client experience and I would want to suppress this authentication dialog and perform the reauthentication in the background.

@champnic @pagoe-msft Please let me know if there is any fix available or planned for it.

@rgup63 We are actively working on this API, but I don't have a timeline for when it will be available yet. Thanks!

@champnic Is there any update on this?

[champnic]

@rgup63 We are still working on the implementation for this feature. We'll update this thread when it reaches experimental status in a pre-release SDK. Thanks!

This is currently available as an experimental API in 1.0.1056-prerelease+, and will be available in the upcoming release SDK (early March). Thanks!
