I am developing a Rails app and I’m considering using LGXReport ( see [http://www.logixml.com/rdPage.aspx?rdReport=LGXReport](http://www.logixml.com/rdPage.aspx?rdReport=LGXReport) ) Worth checking out by the way, its free. Anyway, its a [ASP.Net](http://ASP.Net) app and I’m using SQL Server. It uses open xml for its report format, and can use xml, a webservice or a database for a datasource. It requires users to login. Is it easy/possible to generate the appropriate request from Rails to seamlessly pass the user over to an [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) app ? I don’t want users to have to log in twice. I guess I would have to also generate user accounts from Rails on the [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) side, or perhaps all Rails users could use a single account on LGXReport. Any ideas about this ? I’m a newbie on Rails, ASP and web development in general, but an experienced developer in other areas. Regards Gary ---

Something you can try is to setup Rails to use a DB as it’s session store. It shouldn’t be too hard then to have .NET read out of the table then to see who is logged in, etc. Another option is to have a DRB process that kicks off when someone logs in and talks to a .NET listener that makes the appropriate changes on the .NET side (ie: writes to the SQL DB and marks the users as currently logged in, etc.) Probably several other ways to solve this as well. ---
