Using Forms authentication with remote auth system?
- by chobo
I am working on a website that uses a remote websites database to check for authentication (they are both share some database tables, but are separate website...)
Right now I check the username and password against the remote websites account / member table, if there is a match I create a session.
Questions:
Is this secure? On authenticated pages I just check if a session of
a specific type exists.Is it possible for someone to create an empty session or something that could bypass this?
Is it possible to use Forms authentication with this setup? Right
now if a user is authenticated I just get an object back with the
username, email and id.
