I'm seeing two distinct authentication issues in IE 6 and 7. The first
has to do with IE security settings - for example by adding the site
to "Trusted Sites" and setting the Security Level for Trusted Sites to
"Low" the authentication succeeds, otherwise a JS "Permission Denied"
exception is thrown (i couldn't find exactly what causes the
permission denied, usually this is caused by a cross-domain Ajax
request or IFrame manipulation, but i couldn't confirm which in
FireBug/Fiddler).

The other issue that i saw was within a GWT app and may have to do
with the GWT History support (since the initial AuthSub token is
returned after a "#"), but it could also be something in the way the
GWT app is structured so i have to confirm.

I don't see either of these problems in FireFox. The IE security issue
is kind of a pain since for the majority of sites and users, IE won't
be configured to allow AuthSub to succeed.
