how to get authentication to persist between apps

I'm working on a gallery application that auto-populates content from a named user's organization content.

I started with the sample code here:

and modified it to only return web map applications.

I changed this original function:

function createGallery(items) {
        var htmlFragment = "";
        arrayUtils.forEach(items.results, function(item) {
          htmlFragment += (
            "<div class=\"esri-item-container\">" +
              (
                item.thumbnailUrl ?
                "<div class=\"esri-image\" style=\"background-image:url(" + item.thumbnailUrl + ");\"></div>" :
                "<div class=\"esri-image esri-null-image\">Thumbnail not available</div>"
              ) +
              (
                item.title ?
                "<div class=\"esri-title\">" + (item.title || "") + "</div>" :
                "<div class=\"esri-title esri-null-title\">Title not available</div>"
              ) +
            "</div>"
          );

});

To this:

function createGallery(items) {

var htmlFragment = "";

arrayUtils.forEach(items.results, function(item) {

if (item.type == "Web Mapping Application") {

htmlFragment += (

"<a href='" + item.url + "' target='_blank'>" +

"<div class=\"esri-item-container\">" +

(

item.thumbnailUrl ?

"<div class=\"esri-image\" style=\"background-image:url(" + item.thumbnailUrl + ");\"></div>" :

"<div class=\"esri-image esri-null-image\">Thumbnail not available</div>"

) +

(

item.title ?

"<div class=\"esri-title\">" + (item.title || "") + "</div>" :

"<div class=\"esri-title esri-null-title\">Title not available</div>"

) +

"</div></a>"

);

}

});

The web map applications that are returned are either private to the named user logging in, or shared to the named user as a member of the organization.

The problem is, when I click on a hyperlinked app in the gallery, I am prompted again to login to the ArcGIS Online Organization. Anyone know of a way to get the authentication to carry over, when always hitting content in the same org?
