Hi Arturo,

How did the application know who the user was so that it would know which user's logged in status to check? Was it via a cookie?

If you have a .mac account, you will notice that you login once and that different .mac functionality sets are delivered by different WO apps such as Welcome.woa, Bookmark.woa, WebMail.woa, HomePage.woa, iCards.woa, etc.

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 :-)
