Android - secure map services

I have created a site that includes several secure map services (Active Directory).  When the application is launched with an iPhone/iPad, the user gets a dialogue box to sign in with username/password for servername .  Once the credentials are entered the user can view the application and map services.  However, when attempting to view the application with an Android device, the user is asked to sign in to the server servername:80"" .  It also asks the user to sign in several times, depending on the number of secure map services.  Is there a way to achieve the same functionality on the Android devices as the iPhone/iPad?

  Hi Jared,

  Windows authentication (NTLM / Kerberos) won't work in the built-in Android web browser until Android 4.0.

  For earlier versions of Android, apparently Firefox will work but I'm not sure if that's an option for you.

  There'a very, very long report here:

  Hi Malcolm,

  I was able to view the site using Dolphin browser.  However, it does ask the user for multiple authentications.  My guess is one for each secure map service in the application. 

  Will phonegap improve any of this performance?  It would be nice to just get one authentication dialogue when the user launches the site.
