Single-Sign-On (SSO) with Tomcats in 2 different servers

[Víctor Ferrero del Valle <vf...@sgi.es>]

Hi,

I have 2 servers, both with Tomcat. On each server is installed a
different web application.
Therefore, server A has a Tomcat with application A, and server B has
another Tomcat (but same version) with Application B.
The access to the applications is restricted, so the user must provide
his userId and password before accessing the applications.
Both applications authenticate against the same LDAP server.

The issue is that I’d like to use Single Sign On (SSO) to access both
applications, so that when a user accesses one application and
identifies himself, he doesn’t need to identify again when he accesses
the other application.
I think that in order to accomplishing this, the two Tomcats should be
able to share
sessions. Is this possible? Is there any other solution?

Thanks in advance.

What you want it session replication. You can search the archives for
answers. Also, go to:

for a good overview.
