Thanks Dave and Kevin, this is indeed very helpful. The plan is at business plan stage now. I was asked "does this WSE Security thing mean it's going to be doable if we go ahead or not?" The management people are discussing all the business and legal aspects of the two sites working together, and if they go ahead, then the two sites are going to have to pass a lot of info back and forth including money and personal information. Their site is much bigger than ours and they use WSE Security.
So we needed to know up front if it's going to be doable or not. The deal they're talking about is far bigger in impact than the technical issue of the web site. If it comes down to it, the IT guys are going to be told "make it happen, dont give me reasons why it cant be done. If you have problems, get around them!" So at this point we needed to know if 'they", a much bigger site than ours will need to be asked to change the way they handle security. Not a good look for this deal. The bottom line, for now, is that it's tricky and messy but doable, I think. When/if the deal proceeds it'll be some late nights and studying I think.
