texte = Hi, All - I have a situation that I can't find addressed in the archive. I have a client with two domains. Domain A has a domain-specific username/password database that I use to set cookies for access. Domain B is authenticated by the realm (WebDNA group username and password). The client would like it if his users could log in at Domain A and then have access to Domain B without logging in again; just a link that would carry them through to the other domain, already authenticated. Rather than duplicating the user DB and/or writing cookie code for Domain B, is there a way to give the people who have already logged in to Domain A access to Domain B? For instance, if I set a master name and password in the WebDNA group for Domain B, can I give users a link from Domain A that sets the username and password in the MIME header, or through a TCPConnect script of some kind? Thanks! ----- Patrick Junkroski Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
