We are trying to get an ArcGIS Javascript map running with secured services. We wish to manage the authentication separately

We are trying to get an ArcGIS Javascript map running with secured services.

We wish to manage the authentication separately, Once a user is logged into our system, they should not be presented with any authentication prompts.

With the Silverlight API we simply added a Token to the Layer.

We are having difficulties with the Javascript API.

Please refer to this URL for a sample : http://jsfiddle.net/caseycupp/4f34s5ct/6/

// Test 1 - Adding unsecured service : This works. I'm adding one layer to the map and the legend.

// Test 2 - Testing service with token : If I comment line 77 and uncomment line 79 to try to add a Secure Layer instantiated with a token to the legend. The layer is added to the map but not the legend

// Test 3 - Testing service with token : If I revert to Test 1(uncomment line 77 and comment 79) and then uncomment the section from 50-57 the credential object never gets added to the layer. (as you can see the alert fails)

Instead of adding the logic to get a token to your javascript app you should setup and use the proxy pages provided in the following github repo. This code takes care of generating a token if needed and appending it to the layers.
