does your login set cookies?
so you need a cookie (resp. the cookies) to be set from a script under your 2nd url, too.

I imagine:

domain1 login done -> redirect to domain2 loginscript -> redirect to domain1 content page

and in reverse, if the user logs in into domain1.

Note: setting cookies to identify a user as 'logged in' is extremely unsecure.

Anybody who listens to your connection can find the cookie and pretend to be you.

The cookie method is only 'secure' if your script also checks to see if the request (including the cookie) came from the same IP address that the original logon-request came from.

Problem: the second site will not who which IP you used to logon to the first website.
You could solve this by making it so that when you log on to the first site, the site itself sends the logon details to the second server (using a trusted/encrypted connection) so the second server knows who is logged on to the first server. (and vice versa) A kind of replication.

But its only on the local network :-)

cURL (curl.haxx.se) may be useful. With it, you can have the user log in at one site, and the login script can use cURL to send the login details to the other server (and receive the other server's reply).

After this point my suggestion sort of starts to bog down in technicalities of your platform, architecture, login process and so forth 🙂 It's all just off the top of my head anyway.

The same principle applies. You have two sites, which must somehow inform eachother of each login so that the second site knows who has logged on to the first site.

cURL? heck, a simple fopen() or file() can do the request. :-) or fsockopen()
