Single Sign On Web Site

Hi

I am investigating the possibility writing an application which uses single
sign on with ASP.Net / VB.Net and was wondering if anyone has endeavoured to
do this yet.

I will most likely be using Site Minder as the single sign on engine, and
building the ASP.Net front end to drive it.

Does anyone know where I can find some code on how to manipulate standard
LDAP through vb.net / ASP.Net, as siteminder (to the est of my knowledge)
uses LDAP only.

Also, does anyone have a better idea of how I should do this - if there is a
tried and tested method of implementing single sign on - please let me know
where to find it so that I can investigate.

Many thanks

Rodney Lane.

You can use Forms Authentication. If you have several sites within the same
domain, and if they keep their <machineKey> settings the same, and use Forms
Authentication cookies with the same name, path and domain, then signing
into one site will effectively sign into them all.

Forms Authentication doesn't care whether you validate your users through
LDAP, a database, or by pure guessing.

I'm building a few web sites that will use distinct domain names but will reside on the same server, at the same IP address, in the same application space, and will share a database. They will each provide different content depending on the domain name, but will share some core functionality behind the scenes. What I'd like to be able to do is have one site serve as the primary site. If a visitor comes to one of the secondary sites and...

I have a site where I want to use the Web form validators in two separate forms on a single page. One form allows existing users to log in while the second one allows new users to register. The problem is that if I use the Web Form validation tags, it treats them all as one form (ie...if someone is trying to use the login form, they get an error saying that they have to enter values in the registration form and vice-versa). Any ideas on...

Quite a few months back, I was able to create a single sign on app for all apps on a single box (perhaps a domain, but never tested) by setting the auth cookie name to an identical value: <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms name="SingleSignOn" loginUrl="login.aspx"> </authentication> I could then surf from app to app on the same box and the cookie, named the same, would allow me to bypass the logon form.

I put this into our code-behind so that the 3rd party app we're trying to implement single sign-on with can see the cookie HttpCookie cookie = new HttpCookie("CHEFS.COM.AUTH"); cookie.Domain = ".test.com"; it's not working, when I log into the other app, it's stull not authenticating because it can't read this cookie. Any thoughts?

I'm trying to find a website that does the following: 1. Signs you up to a second site under a different primary domain (i.e. as a result of a checkout or something). The username and password may be automatically generated. 2. Signs on for you and redirects you to the second site without the need of you signing up or signing in I can't find an example of such a site. Do you know any? Thanks,
