Picking things up at your first question here:

> original resource I was attempting to access).  First question: does

> the authentication scheme is interrupted and therefore incomplete?

The isapi filter since version 3.2 has used the 'post' login 
method exclusively. This method employs an additional hop on the 
return trip back from the login server, so, yes, we'd expect you 
to be redirect to a different 'relay.pubcookie3' end-point on your 
server.

I'd verify that the .pubcookie3 extension is configured properly. 
See the ISAPI extension note here:

http://www.pubcookie.org/docs/install-filter-3.3.html#review

(That's the 3.3 install guide. You should be using version 3.3.0a.)

If you're redirected to some other end-point or some other server, 
I guess we'd want to understand why that was so. It wouldn't be 
the expected flow.
