Hi folks,
I think I must be missing something head-slappingly obvious.
I have multiple WO apps, all running off the same user database, and
for each app, the user authenticates against that user database
before they're let into the app (i.e. the Main component has a
conditional login form / page contents, depending on whether the user
has already logged into that app).
At the moment, when app1 sends a user to app2's URL, they are
presented with another login form, which they then dutifully fill in
even though it's using the same username/passwd combination they used
for app1.
Is it possible for app1 to take a logged in user to app2's default
URL, and pass a parameter to the instance of app2 that's dealing with
this request, along the lines of
app2.setLoggedInUser(loggedInUser());
The other route would be to have 1 monolithic "in house app" that
does everything, but I'd be rebuilding that every couple of hours due
to various parts being updated, so I'd rather keep things modular
(several little apps) if possible.
Let me know if this needs clarifying, and thanks in advance for any
help,
Ken
