Single sing on with PHP

Rails
1

Hi all,

For our next project we are required to integrate a rails application
with a
PHP application.
The PHP application is going to be used to authenticate users. When the
user
is logged into the PHP application, the user should automatically be
logged
into the Rails application (Single Sign On).

What might be a good strategy to achieve this result? Maybe somebody did
something like this before?

Regards,

Harm

Cookies are the easiest way I have found. With a little effort you
could use sessions… PHP sessions are plain text but ActiveRecord
sessions are serialized by default.
