Single Sign On with ASP.NET and Cold Fusion

I am setting up an ASP.NET application that will require external
users to login. Currently we run both Cold Fusion and ASP.Net. Can
someone explain if and how I can create a single sign on for
applications written on both platforms. So if a user logs into an
ASP.Net application then jumps to a ColdFusion area they will not have
to login in again.

Thanks a lot

You just have to have a non-proprietary data store that both apps can read
from, such as a database. When they log in, it goes into the data store.
Both apps read the data store to find out if the user is logged in.

Hey Ralph,

If what your trying to do is maintain a cookie or session var to
authenticate the user on CF you will have to set either an xml var or
javascript var in dotnet and pass it to coldfusion which can decipher
it using cfwddx.. I haven't done it but that should be a starting
point..

I realize this is a Microsoft group, but what are the advantages/disadvantages of cold fusion? People are telling me the coding required in .cfm is much less than .asp? Is this true? Which one is better? Any input is appreciated. Thanks Cory

Whenever I query my database using Enterprise Manager, the response time is about a second. When I access the same data via a Cold Fusion webpage, it takes about 15 seconds (or more) to resolve.
