http://www.unix.com – I have a wordpress site that authenticates against a local ldap database for users to login. On the same server and domain I have subsonic installed that also authenticates against the same ldap database. The ldap database is firewalled front the outside wall and the internal LAN. I would like to create a link from a wordpress page to the subsonic login page and also pass the user credentials at the same time to allow a seamless logon for the user into the subsonic app but do this in a secure fashion. The url format for the wordpress site is home.mydomain.com/wordpress and for the subsonic (HowTos)
