Passing SSO information through webContentField

Question

This is a "how does Appian do it?" questions.   I'm working on an Appian site that uses webContentfield to display an outside site inside of Appian (like an iFrame).   This outside site is using the credentials from SSO to log the user in.   We are pretty sure it is using the session to do that but I don't see anything that specifically sets that up.   We need to do this with another 3rd party and they are asking how the credentials are getting passed.   Does anyone know the magic of SSO that is happening in this situation?

Appian does not actively do anything to pass credentials into the web content field. But, if your browser has an active authentication token that fits the URL of that system, it will send it over and allow seamless embedding of that content.
