Got Forms Authentication working, now what?

[Buddy Robbins]

Hey folks,

I've been assigned to a Website project that has been designed by a former
employee. I don't know if he overlooked something or I'm not understanding
something.

The client wants a private section in their site that is protected by forms
authentication, with the username/password validated against the active
directory. I've got that part happening, and am able to store the
username/password credentials in session variables.

The next task is to be able to put a link for Outlook Web Access on the
private area's default page. When the user clicks on it, they should be
able to go to the Outlook area without entering their credentials again.

Well, I have the credentials, but how do I pass them to OWA?

Thanks in advance,

What I think you are trying to do is what's called "single-sign on". You want
the users to log in to the ASP.NET app. and use the same credentials to given
them access to OWA without having them logging in again. Is this true?
