Accessing cookie problem

[Anon]

Actors:
- Server1.com
- Server2.com
- User

Plot:
- User logs in to Server1.com which sets a cookie with the users name.
- User then goes to Server2.com which asks Server1.com for the Users name.
- Server1.com reads the cookie it set earlier and tells Server2.com the name of User.
- Server2.com greets User with his/her name.

How can Server1.com read the cookie when User's browser is visiting Server2.com?

The communication between server1.com and Server2.com is not very hard to fix, but I can't get the cookie problem out of my head.

Any thoughts?

As far as I know, cookies cannot travel between two different domains...

That I know, but in the model I thought of, and tried to describe 🙂 , only Server1.com sets and reads the cookie data.

Server2.com only present itself as server2.com and then server1.com reads the cookie it set earlier...
Server2.com does not set a cookie, it recieves the information it needs from server1.com using another protocol.

The problem I have is how to get server1.com to read the cookie data when the user is visiting server2.com.
