Bypassing forms authentication for one site if coming from another. How?

[David Hearn]

I have two websites that both use Forms authentication. Each site has a
login.aspx and use the same database to check usernames and passwords. There
is a link on Website A to get to Website B. The user can only get to this
link if they are already logged in to Website A so when they click on the
link to get to Website B, I don't want them to have to log in again.
However, if the user was to go straight to Website B by typing it's URL into
the browser or by any other means, they have to login. Is this possible and
how would I accomplish it if so?

Thanks in advance!
