Tomcat 4 has a feature called "single sign on": http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/host.html That only works if you're using container-managed authentication (configured in web.xml). Otherwise, I don't know.. perhaps you could have a JNDI context shared between the two webapps? Pass a "key" from one app to another?
