authentication ticket

[Roel]

Hi

Is it possible to share an authentication ticket across multiple websites
(on the same server) ?

Detailed:

I create a ticket in webapplication1. The user can click a link on
webapplication1, to access webapplication2. In webapplication2, I want to
use the ticket I created in webapplication1.

Kind regards

Roel

Hi,

basically yes if they are under the same domain (Forms cookie name and path
are the same). Forms Authentication Cookie is normal cookie in that sense
that it has limitations to where it is sent by the browser (by default it is
sent to all pages on the same app e.g the same main domain)

See this on MSDN
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/SecNetch08.asp

Secure Communication)
