Problem with multiple "home" pages protected by shibboleth

[Sam Wilson]

Hi Gary,

Sounds to me like the browsers are showing cached pages hence your getting
no login contexts unless the page is active. Have you confirmed logging
into a singe tab then iterating though each application?

Cheers,

Sam
