A little complex problem, not sure if I can describe it properly, for I don't know all details myself -- but let me try.
We have a
struts based application, that needs authentication and itis doen withusual form based authentication with session management. Now we have couple of other applications written in PHP/perl which ned to be integrated in our system. Some part of these applications requires authentication, and we would like the authenticate user on our struts app to be automatically authenticated on the PHP app as well (sort of single-sign-on or SSO). How can we do it ourselves reliablly without having to buy expensive webserver or webapps?
I can think of using common DB for all these apps with some elaborate sesssion management, but I was wondering if it is possible using another smarter way or approach. Have you guys soleved similar problem? How did you approach it?
TIA,
