htaccess question
 

I'm trying to link the 2 member sections so the user can login once and then go to another password protected area on the same server but a different domain without having to enter their login. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Mark

not with .htaccess, but you could create a global session over two domains so logging in once passes it on...

actually you can do it by sending them to http://user:[email protected] but some browsers (Internet Explorer after security update #832894) disables this... it can be re-enabled, but you wouldn't want users to go through this for your site...

thanks for the post. That will not work for what I need though.

any other suggestions......

symlink the second members area into the first.

yes, this way you will have two members areas on one domain, its the only way to do so with htaccess, otherwise you have to use some scripting language like php or something

Check out StrongBox

They have a cross site link feature for member areas.

Doc is correct, Strongbox will let you do that with it's secure handoff feature.
Do a search on this board for Strongbox and I think you'll find that it's also known
as the very best protection available against dictionary and brute force attacks
as wellas password sites.
