Applications Portal

Question

Hi Guys I have 10 asp.net C# websites each developed for a particular set of users. To access the sites the users would specify the server name and port number for example http://mywebserver:8003/ . Each web site has a login that connects to active directory and in some case also connects to a local sql database for permissions. My users are complaining!! Hence i am researching a way of creating a single sign on portal for example https://singlessingonportal that will 1. Allow users to access only those applications they are authorized while at the same time accessing a single web link to get those applications. 2. The integrity and functionality of the sub applications will be maintained but users should only have to enter the login once and access any of their intended applications seemlessly. NB: all the websites are currently house internally. Any suggestions research papers videos or demo's on how i can accomplish this would be welcome

Perhaps this link may help. Apart from that if you are using the user's Windows Identity why do they need to log on again?

Hi JM They are in fact using their windows credentials to access those sites housed internally however for each website they have to enter that credential plus remember the port for the web site so what i am looking to do is create a central site for example https://central which would require a user to login once and have access to the other sites he/she is authorized to view.

Since everything is in-house can't you use the user's windows account? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff647405.aspx
