forms authentication for 2 apps in ASP.Net 2.0

TK · Dec 27, 2005

If I have 2 applications using ASP.NET 2.0 on the same domain
(www.mystore.com). How can I have a log on in one application and still
be authorized when the first application calls the second one?
Example www.mystore.com/portal uses forms authentication. When
www.mystore.com/portal calls on www.mystore.com/store how do I use
forms authentication without another login?

Thanks for any help or advice.

If both use forms auth then all that's really needed is to sychronize the
<machineKeys> element in web.config across the two apps. This will ensure
that both apps use the same the encryption/decryption key for the forms auth
cookie.
