Subject: Passing session variables between applications

Hey all,

I'm an experienced web scripting and database programmer but am quite new to
ColdFusion.  I'm developing an app in CF MX where I have a bit of a
conundrum.  Basically the client has a corporate home page where people can
sign up for an account, which they can log into via the usual login/password
scheme and I then have their member ID stored in a session variable.  Once
they have an account on the site, however, they are able to gain access to
other "franchise" sites and shop at them.  
The corporate site and the store sites are two separate CF applications.
Apparently CF session variables don't persist across different applications,
but I don't want the user to have to re-login every time they visit one of
the store sites if they've already logged in at the main site.  And
obviously I don't want to pass the member ID in a URL parameter for security
reasons.  Is there a secure way to pass variables between applications?

Thanks,
Lee
