we have a production site like http://www.Domain1.com, and developing a new web application http://www.domain2.com, and would like to implement single sign on.
I am looking for solution pretty much like how google works like login to gmail, in gmail navigate to other google apps or we can open new window and we can use picasa or other google apps with out login.
I have found an interesting solution, where we will be developing a dedicated Authentication site like http://www.sso.com.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/CrossDomainSSOExample.aspx
we use webfarm environment, site 1 and site 2 will be deployed in webfarm environment, but when we deploy http://www.sso.com in webfarm , this solution will not work.
I am sure google might have implemented http://www.sso.com service in webfarm environment. i am trying to understand and implement the same.
Experts i kindly request your help in this direction , any information which helps me.
AFAIK, after Google authenticates user with main auth site/service, it issues a set of redirects to auth. end-points to all main domains with one-time secret key in URL, so each end-point on each domain sets auth. cookies for given user.
E.g. user signs in at http://sso.com/login, then he is redirected to
And each domain sets an auth cookie to the browser.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
