    I am converting an ASP Website running Windows NT 4.0 to ASP.NET running
    Windows 2000 on a different computer across the Internet. During this
    process, both will be active and availble to users.

    The ASP site A uses Basic Authentication and has the user enter a UserID and
    Password that are Authenticated against a database.

    The ASP.NET site N uses Forms Authentication and has the user enter a UserID
    and Password that are Authenticated against a copy of the ASP's database.

    At this point in time I am only concerned with the scenario as follows:

    - User Logs in to Site A (ASP)
    - Site A redirects the User to Site N (ASP.NET)

    In this scenario, the User has to enter their UserID and Password a second
    time when accessing Site N.

    Can Site A programitically pass the credentials, UserID and Password, to
    Site N so the user does not have to logon a second time with the same UserID
    and Password without changing the authentication schemes of either site.

    If so, what are my options?

    Thanks,
    Doug
