I have 2 sites:
We have all the user information in an asp.net site (which is actually a Kentico site).
Now, there is a business requirement that users should be able to log-in with the same credentials in Site B. Ideally, we would need that users who log-in Site A, and navigate to Site B, the authentication would be automatic.
Is there a way to achieve this form of authentication. Or is it not possible?
This is not an authentication problem, but an authorization one. Once you have authenticated your user, in whichever way you want, with whichever technology you want, you probably will grant them some sort of token that you will then use to grant authorization to the different resources in your sites.
In your case you have two different technologies, which only means that you won’t be able to use the out of the box asp.net or php session management, but all you need to do is have a common place to check that the session tokens are valid, they belong to a legitimate user and that user has permissions to access this resource.
If the above is trivial, sorry, maybe your question is more oriented to the sites being in two different domains, and therefore not being able to use a domain cookie to store the session information. is that the case?
