Remote logon page like Microsoft passport

Hi,

Our company has a database of users that we use to authenticate users on
various websites.

However, some of our customers want to develop a website on their own and
use the same database authenticate users.

At first I was thinking to create a WebService that accepts username &
password and returns if it's valid or not. But it is *very* important that
our customers don't know the password of these users. Because our customers
could "log" the data send to the webservice, this is obviously not a good
idea.

So I guess what we need is a system like Microsoft passport where the user
gets redirected to another website to logon and returns to the original url
afterwards.

What would be the best way to communicate between urls? It should be easy to
implement and yet secure.

Steven

Yes, probably this is the way to go.

I does mean both parties will have to agree on an encryption technology.
Because it probably will not always be .NET vs .NET I'm not sure what would
be my best option...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
