1)  I have a Server where the $USER authenticate and it store the
    infos (IP, USER-AGENT, ...) there.

2)  Then, after successfull autentication the $USER is redirected to
    the real Website with an onetime ID in the URLetc.

3)   The "real" Website get its infos from the AUTH-Server and check
     it against the onetime ID in the URL

I had to do this, since I am working over a bunch of Servers, where
COOKIES would only be readable form the same Website which had set
the COOKIE
