Hi all

looking for best way of maintaining a session over different servers/sites.

What we are trying to do is:

User is at a "PORTAL" logs in and gets a menu of all internal (lack of
better word), websites he has access to. (the Portal is on one server).

User makes selection and gets passed to chosen site (each site is on it's
own server).
(each server/site controls the users access within that site.  a user maybe
a "user" on one site and an administrator on another).

When user is done at the website, either completely signs out or gets passed
back to the PORTAL to then possibly get sent to another internal site.

The only pieces of information that need to get passed are the userID and
that the user has logged in at the portal(login=true).  each site is
independent of the others and contains all needed information for that site
(yes unfortunately information is being duped, but can't be helped at this
point).

Sense none of the servers talk with each other, the only way we can think of
is to pass the info in the URL,  but then if the user happens to bookmark a
page, the info is there and the next time the user can bypass the portal and
go straight to the book marked page.

Does anyone know another way of doing this?
Thanks
Rodney
