Are the websites on the same server? Are they using the same username and passwords? Are these on the same domain?
Sounds like single sign-on.

if the authentication application doesn’t find a signed cookie, the iframe can display a login form or redirect the iframe host to a login form depending on the required behavior.
Something to keep in mind when using multiple apps and domains is that you need to keep the shared cookies/sessions in sync, meaning that if you log out from an app, you need to also delete the auth cookie to ensure that users are globally logged out. (It also means that you might always want to use an iframe to check the login status and auto-logoff users).

They are not on the same server, and do not use the same user name and password. One site has been set up. The other we are just getting started with., so it's a blank page so to speak.
