My company is investigating upgrading to SharePoint 2007 from SharePoint 2003. Apparently the 2007 version now uses two web sites, one for the normal stuff and one for the "My Site". The issue is that our users are NOT logged into the domain. They are almost all remote (maybe 20 out 200 are in the office). The site uses domain authentication, thus when they access it, IE prompts them for domain credentials, and they then get on. Unfortunately, when they then choose "My Site", they have to login again, as it is a different site and apparently IE doesn't reuse the already applied authentication (which makes sense).



Does anyone know of a way for two web sites, on the same server, to share the same authentication credentials so the user only has to login once?



Thanks!

I think I know how to do this, I did it for a website I did a while ago, you basically pass the authentication ticket along and tell site two that is is OK to share it. It sucked, took me 2 days to find and make work, if noone else has posted it by tomorrow AM, ill be happy to dig it out and post.

Just to clarify, you want to authenticate once to sitea.com and not have to reauthenticate to siteb.com hosted on the same server?

Yes, that is correct.
