Pass session info between Coldfusion and ASP

[chrisf1616]

I have one website that is Coldfusion and one that is ASP. At this time, it is
not feasible to rewrite the ASP page to CF.

The Coldfusion page requires a login and sets session variables. Once logged
in, users have a link to the ASP page. I want to pass the CF session
information to the ASP page so users don't have to log in again. Can anyone
tell me how to do this?

Thanks,

Hi Chris,
[CAVEAT PROGAMOR: untested code follows]
Your transition page (which is what the link should point at) can be a form
that has hidden fields populated with the necessary session info from CF.

<form>
<input type="hidden" name="sessionvarname1" value="#session.sessionvarname1#">
[and so on....]

Next, put a bit of Javascript at the end of the form page that automatically
submits the form to the ASP side of the house.

In the global.asa of your ASP app, add a section that grabs the fields and
sets the session vars:

<script language="VBScript">
if (request.servervariables(HTTP_REFERER) = TheURLoftherequestingpage) then
session("sessionvarname1") = request.form("sessionvarname1") [and so on...]
end if
</script>



HTH,

can you save the session variable as cookies?
