Author Cross Site authentication ?

What is the best way to set-up cross site authentication ? Ideally we would
like users who have authenticated into a secure section of one (local) site
to be able to click on a link and somehow pass the authentication credentials
to another (remote, not on same domain) site without prompting the users to
enter another ID & password. Also, we would like any authentication that is
used or passed to not be visable on the page they are leaving by using the
View/Source option or in the URL. TIA ...

Hi,

Is the other server under your administrative control? Is it part of e.g.
same Active Directory?

not part of the same AD, they just supplied us with the user ID and password
to use ...

Hi,

In this case I don't see any (easy) way to accomplish what you want --
specially since your users enter username and password that is different
from the other site.

You might be able to do something _together_ with the owners of the site
(e.g. use cookies for authentication or filter access to the site by your IP
address instead of using usernames and passwords...)...

Cool, thanks for the reply. We will probably try the cookies option first.
