Using Kentico as a security provider
I have a site developed in kentico in which users can log in.

I want to create a second site, not using kentico which uses the kentico site for authorisation/authentication.

Is this possible? If so, how?

For example does Kentico itself act as an OpenID provider, or does it have some API for authenticating users that could be used externally?

Thanks,
George

RE:Using Kentico as a security provider
Hi,

You can simply share the authentication cookie once the user is logged into a Kentico site (sharing cookies).

This article may be helpful too.

And here is the API to authenticate the user in code.
