SharePoint Web Applications Authentication
Trying to figure out what the best way is to accomplish this.
We have mysites setup under it's own web application.
We also have some other sharepoint sites setup under their own web applications. What I'm trying to figure out, is how when a user is in logged into one of the web applications and say they click on their mysites link, they get prompted to sign in again when switching to the mysites web application when a user is not on our corporate network.
As long as they are on a company computer in our domain it's fine, but when a user isn't on a company computer, or in our domain when they access our sharepoint sites, they are prompted to login when going between web applications that they haven't already authenticated to.
Is there a way so that when a user logs into 1 web app, they are already authenticated against the other web apps?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
It seems like it might be a viable route, but to ultimately make that call you need to resort to paying a local professional to understand your environment fully.

Ok. Thank you for the information.

We've been playing with ADFS for some external organizations, and seems like that would be the easier r route instead of having to setup a forefront box.
