Re: Single Sign On



Sudheer,
Another simple alternative is to pass the id to each site, and then make a cookie out of the id. If the user has the cookie then they authenticate, else, send them back to sign in at my.example2.com

Hi,

We have three web sites
a) example1.com
b) example2.com
c) my.example2.com


Our sites include exclusive pages for registered users. All user account
management tasks are handled by my.example2.com including registration,
modification, cancellation, etc. We would like to create a single sign
on system for all the three web sites. The user would sign on with a
single username and password to all three web sites. For example, when
the user visits a membership page in example1.com he would be prompted
to sign on to his account. His credentials are stored in
my.example2.com. my.example2.com is now fully functional. After the
successful sign on, the user would be redirected to original membership
page in example1.com.

How would I pass the information from my.example2.com to example1.com
about the authentication status of user?

We use MySQL database to store and retrieve user account details in
my.example2.com. The web host does not allow remote database connections.

Thanks,
Sudheer
