I would like to add a link in one app to go to another app and
preserve the fact that the person has logged in.
Direct Action - it would seem anything I sent with the DA will
compromise the security credentials
Cookies - seems safer but I believe even a session cookie is stored
for a short time. A hacker could look at that cookie and decipher
how I identify and authorize the user. Then substitute to gain access.
Use a database table - I could store a code indicating user X was
just logged in to app A then when they access app B verify existence
in data base.
These all seem a bit "rube goldberg" to me.
Does anyone know the "right" way to transfer to a second app while
preserving some login and identity knowledge? Thanks.
Greg
