We are using forms authentication. Authentication is performed against a
table of User/Password pairs in a SQL Server2000 Database. The central
application is required to allow access to other applications which may not
reside in the same domain. It is considered undesirable to have the user
login again each time he accesses a new application. the solution I have
arrived at is to send the authentication ticket contents to the SQL server
and have the new application extract it and recreate the ticket (now
accessible with in the new domain). This seems to work fine
