I am using Shibboleth federated identity infrastructure to authenticate with WSS 3.0. Shibboleth is working through an ISAPI filter and an ISAPI extension. I have written an authentication module to create a principal for the user session plus a membership provider and a role provider. It works f
ine in a .Net program. But I have a problem with WSS as I have a 401 error when downloading the page template (css, images, javascript) in the _layout directory.
It seems that the _ directory does not recognize that the user is already identified, as I am redirected to the login.aspx page.
Does anyone ever worked whith the single sign on authentication ? May be I should also have a custom form autherntication ?
Thanks for any answers.

Hi, we are experiencing the same, but we are using IAG (kerberos) for authentication. Its weird, when surfing the site anonymous everything works like a charm. If i authenticate with a user that is not added as a sharepoint user, I get access to the site but every css/js file under /_layouts is rejected with 401.5. Though I get access to aspx pages under _layouts. Furthermore, there is no problem accessing everything under the virtual directory _layouts/images.
So I get access to content and aspx pages, but not css/js/htm files located in the virtual directory _layouts. If i authenticate with the same user and now that user is added to the sharepoint user list.. everything gets downloaded.
