Integrated windows Auth - diff domains

[csutton]

Hey everyone,

I have 2 servers setup, one an exchange server (2000) and one running .NET FW for ASP.NET. I'm trying to write an Interface that allows me to supply a link in my ASPX page that will open up a word doc on the Exchange Server in a public folder. I'm using a URL link to the public folder and the file name directly.

I currently have authentication turned on for both places, Exchange and on my web page using Integrated Windows Authentication. But since they are working across to different domains: exchange.domain.com and track.domain.com, when it tries to open up the doc, it asks for the users id and password and domain again (since its in a different url domain). Is there a way I can have it so it only authenticates once, when they initially log into the web application?

Thanks.

Have you tried creating a user account for your asp.net processes to work under, and adding that user to the other domain?

No, however we still need the users access control to carry over to the exchange server to control what documents they may update, not view, etc.

hmm..k...are the username/password combinations the same on both servers?

If so, you could create some sort of "User" object, that can hold the username/password, and when the user tries to redirect to the url, you could pass the object's values through.

Yes, they're the same because we're using Active Directory, so this authenticates via the AD.

I'm not sure how I would pass the user object thru because all I'm doing is a hyperlink to the document, to open it up in another window (and I just posted a new thread on how I could maybe do this using the screen scraping function..)
