Question

I built an ASP.Net MVC 4 application which uses forms authentication by means of a custom membership provider inheriting from the Simple Membership.

Everything is working fine, but now I have a new requirement: I need to integrate a JSP application with mine.

This means that it has to authenticate against the same user database of my application and that they should somehow share the session in order to achieve a kind of Single Sign-On among the two applications (if an user is already authenticated in the ASP.Net application, he should be able to access the JSP application without logging in again, and vice-versa).

What architecture do you suggest me to use?

I would like to change as little as possible the ASP.Net application.

Thanks!

Solution

If you need to auhtenticate accross different domains:

You can implement your own security token service (like facebook, google does) Here is some ready to use implementation: http://thinktecture.github.io/Thinktecture.IdentityServer.v2/

If the sites are running on the same domain (subdomain), then you can try to share an authentication cookie within these domains.
