Title: Can a Flex app (Tomcat 5) use an asp.net security token

My Flex app is called in a custom wrapper residing in an asp.net application which is secured by "forms" (cookie-based) authentication. (NOT NTLM / Windows Integrated).

I need to secure the Flex app, but I don't want the user to have to log in again, which is what happens when I use the J2EE security on Tomcat.  I can see the asp authorization header in the request on Tomcat.

I have a programmatic solution in mind, involving the wrapper generating a key, saving it to a database, then having the flex app retrieve and compare the key from the wrapper and the db, but this is going to be comparatively ugly.

Anyone got any other ideas?
