Navigating between 2 Webform applications (Asp.Net) Securley
Hi,
We have 2 applications and would like a user to switch to one them securely, so the user will login (with username and password) to one Site A and then click on a link to navigate to the Site B. If I checked that the user is coming from Site A (referring site and page) would this be enough to ensure this is safe or should I make more checks?
Any recommendations would be helpful.

Many thanks Chinmay for replying.
I am using Asp.Net Webforms VB. Yes I can place both applications on the same server and possibly on the domain if required.
Any help is appreciated.
Would a web service be a better approach?
Thanks

Web Service???? I am not sure I understand the context here.
If you can provide me details on the requirements then I can tell you if a Web Service is required. If you have two distinct apps providing two different features then keeping them separate is the right thing to do - unless your business requirements dictate otherwise.

Thanks Chinmay,
These need to be 2 different webforms applications just because they have different requirements and features.
I would like to redirect a user (already logged in to SiteA) to SiteB, from where they will complete a form etc. I really do not want them to login again. It would be nice if I could forward information such as email address, name from SIteA to SiteB but not essential.
Thanks for your help

Yes. Please do a PoC.
The approach you are trying to use is not safe at all. Anyone can spoof that approach and basically create a havoc on your Site B.
What you need is a technique called SSO - Single Sign On - which can be implemented in multiple ways. IF you can provide more details about your requirements and how your apps are set-up (ASP.Net WebForms? MVC? ASP.Net Core? Apps reside on the same server? Same domain? etc.) I can suggest which route to take.
