| i have two applications (located on the same computer) and they must
exchange information
souch as
app1: asks app2 - who is authenticated?
app2: answers with username
app1: does he have the right to start program?
app2: answers - yes (or no)
app1: recives the answer - if yes do stuff else do the other stuff
generally i have 50 or so computers and 6 programs the users are
useing...
i want to avoid entering the username and password on every program
start... i waht it to happen once (program for authentication will stay
resident) and everyone will ask the app if they can be started...
google shows me only communicating over tcpip
thanks

| An ActiveX EXE would be a very simple way of achieving this. The
authenticated details would be held "out of process", and would be shared by
all apps requiring access to them. However, on it's own it wouldn't provide
much help with security. Unless request messages are encrypted or signed
then anyone could access your ActiveX EXE, or write a clone of your ActiveX
EXE that claims all accounts have been authenticated.
