session issue with two iframe in an application

Question

I have application in which I have used two iframes to display the content of the external application.

My external site is designed in such a manner that it will dispaly the content once you login into the site otherwise it display the log-in screen again and again (if you not logged-in).

I have a url that will login into the external site(http:Ipaddress/pagename?username=abcd&password=abcd)

I set this url to the first iframe source and set another url to the other iframe

Doing this I got login and see the desired output to the first iframe but got login screen to the second iframe, however during another post back I got login to both Iframe and see the desired output.

I want both the iframe should be login duing first call.(dont know why session is not created for the second iframe)

Please help me out, Thanks Saurabh Gupta

It is not easy to locate the issue. Could you provide more info? Are you passing credentials in the same way for both external iFrames? — udalmik, Aug 17 '12 at 13:38
No I am not passing the credentails for both iframes, passing only for one Iframe, second one is suppose to work with the session created by Ist iframe call — Saurabh, Aug 20 '12 at 12:10

I think it is related to p3p policy, you can check following question/answers Cookie blocked/not saved in IFRAME in Internet Explorer

Another solution is to use wrapper page for iFrame code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    $('body').append('<form id="cookiesHack" action="http://yourUrl.com/" method="get"></form>');
    $('#cookiesHack').submit();
});
</script>
</body>
