Send credentials/user information accross applcations securely?

I have three separate applications setup on an IIS server. Let’s call them
AppA, AppB, and AppC. On AppA (the Default application) the user is presented
with a login window. The login information is stored in a SQL Database.
Depending on the user’s credentials they can be routed to AppB or AppC. I
need to securely pass the user’s login name and unique identifier to either
AppB or AppC. How can I, in ASP.NET, securely pass this information to the
applications? I can send the information in the query string, but I don’t
know how to secure this. Can I use a web service and the
System.Security .Cryptography class? Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I'm writing this off the top of my head as I don't have the exact information to hand. We are attempting to set up a secure internet site using ASP.NET on IIS5. We are having some authentication problems early on in the project. The plan is to have 1 ASP.NET (IIS) forms application serving user requests and another ASP.NET (IIS) webservice interfacing to the database.

Hello, I have been desperately trying to programmatically authenticate a windows user, create their credentials, and then redirect them to a different server while passing the credentials at the same time so that they don't have to login again. Specifically, I have two webservers in the same domain. When I have a user go to Webserver A (which uses basic authentication) I programmatically create either a user credential or impersonate...

I have an win form app from which I want to be able to send bug reports. My first approach was something like: SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient( ????? ); MailAddress from = new MailAddress("from@from.com"); MailAddress to = new MailAddress("to@to.com"); MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to); message.Body = "Email Body"; message.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8; message.Subject = "Subject";

Hi. I would like to let users send bug reports or other messages to me. Maybe the easiest way to send e-mails from my application is just use the default e-mail agent by executing a link mailto://mymail@domail.com. But this only works if the user has configured Outlook or something. Many users use web-based mails here so if I do so, Outlook Express's a new account wizard will pop-up. Futhure more this reveals user e-mails. Some people...

We use a Soap Header to pass a token class (m_Token) back and forth with authenticated session information. Given the following implementation for our Logout method, I vastly prefer to simply code m_Token = null in order to destroy the session token when the user logs out. However, I'm finding that setting class instance to null results in no header being sent back to the client, with the result that the client actually remains with an...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
