External App Initiated Sign-On? #7428

We have an ASP.NET Zero application, and then a separate web application that already performs user authentication. We would like for users logged in our external application to be able to click on a link that then takes them to the ASP.NET Zero application as that same user.

  • Is it possible to create an authorization token from that application, then to redirect the user to the ASP.NET Zero web site and have the user use that token?
  • Or is it possible for us to create our own IExternalAuthProviderApi implementation where we can do something like this?
  • Some other option?

Note: I investigated using OpenID and WSFederation in our external application, but I don't believe they would work because our external application itself can be configured to have it's identity provided by various SSO systems.
