Steve,
your method works for me with one exception: I use "login" command, not "logon" in the ".../names.nsf?logon" url. Maybe I missed something - I am so Domino newbie... anyway, your recipe helped me to perform my task. Thank you for the great example.

And - Happy New Year!

Of course if you revert your server to Basic authentication you don't have to do anything as the browser will present a challenge when the Flex app first attempts to access the Domino Application and everything works as expected. Accept of course Basic authentication isn't very secure ;-)

I followed the same approach but instead redirected to a page marked as XML to gather some current user information (Commonname, roles etc).

And last but not least. If you dont like your flex app timing out after 30 minutes of inactivity, its very simple to have a flex timer - activated on startup - fire off an event every 5 or 15 or whatever minutes, which will then use a similar http call to the domino server for information. This will in turn update the cookie, and the user will remain logged in.

We, for instance, use a call to a web service to refresh a 'view' on the flex app from a View from Domino.
