Hi,
I am having problems trying to work out if it is possible to share iis session timouts accross web applications in the following scenario: -
In my environment there are 2 IIS Web Servers on the same network domain.
One of the servers will host a .NET web application. The other will host a COTS document management system (OpenText Livelink Enterprise Server) which is not a .NET web application. Both web applications will be using windows authentication.
The COTS system will access the .NET web application such that when a User logs on to the COTS system, the .NET web application is accessed either via a web service or through a .NET aspx webpage. The problem we have is that our client has a requirement in order to maintain iis timeouts accross both applications such that the same timeout period will effectively timeout a user from both the COTS system and the .NET web application at the same time. By timeout, I mean require the user to re-authenticate.
My first question is, is it possible to pass an authentication token through from the COTS web application to the .NET web application in this scenario. Secondly and more importantly, is it possible to handle iis session timeouts as described above? If so, could you please direct me to any articles that may be of use, as I can't seem to find anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
