We had 3 apps that we needed to integrate using a single sign on.
Basically the solution was using cookies. You log in to only one spot, and
it creates some cookies that the other apps can see. The other apps check
for those cookies and automatically validate the user in however they do
it.
So whatever you're trying to integrate, needs to allow you some
flexibility when it comes to extending authentication of users.
