We are currently running two web applications on two different virtual
servers. One of them is Windows Sharepoint Services, and the other one is
also based on ASP.NET. Both of these applications use windows authentication
to authenticate the users.

Often the users need to go directly from Windows Sharepoint Services (via a
hyperlink) to the other ASP.NET-application. However, when they do, they are
required to enter username and password again (even though they had already
been authenticated on Windows Sharepoint Services). Is there any way to
"pass-through" the authentication between the two applications (which reside
on two different virtual servers) provided that it takes place within the
same browser session.

Thanks in advance...
