webapps and single sign on

hello,

i have developed 3 web-apps  using Struts. Let say app1, app2 and app3.
I am currently using tomcat4 to run these apps.

These apps are deployed as
/var/tomcat4/webapps/app1
/var/tomcat4/webapps/app2
/var/tomcat4/webapps/app2

Each web-app is having its own login/logout mechanism. Users are common
for all the 3 apps. username and passwords are stored in database.

Now if i want to have 'Single sign on' for these 3 apps, how it is
possible ????

suggest all available options.

bye.

It is part of the j2ee standard afaik, so single sign on should be 
implemented in all j2ee compliant containers.

Is there a best practice for doing this sort of thing in a
container-independent way?

Define module for each of your apps. Use container managed authentication
to define accessibility based on user role.

I'm curious about this and it might come handy for a couple of projects,
have you any good pointer to resources or documentation about it?

hi,

+ Set a cookie with common name for all of them :-)
+ Write a program that is capable to convert/transfer one app's cookie to
other app's cookie. (Oracle sign-on and microsoft etc do the same stuff)
+ Use JAAS if you are thinking of some good solution. Little time consuming
