Has anyone got design pattern suggestions on how to do this? Would it
involve something like saving serialized session information to
database and storing a session id in a cookie and checking this as the
user clicks into different WO apps?
When I built the one for bigchalk we made everyone log-in through a
portal. Whenever an application needed to see if someone was logged it
it would hit the authentication service (kind of a webservice paradigm
but it predated WebServices) to confirm the user's logged in state. If
the user was not logged in then it would redirect to the portal's login
page. That would also hit the authentication service.
It got more interesting (xsl, xml, etc) when everyone wanted customized
login pages :-)
