Communication between web servers

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 28.2007

Hi!

I am setting up a single sign on system using a ubuntu server with apache tomcat and CAS. My question is a bit more general though.

Clients will log on to a system by giving my web server their username/password and my web server has to authenticate and authorize them. Now to do this I want my web server to send some sort of request to another web server with the username/password and let the other web server check its database and send an ok/not ok signal back to my web server.

How would you do this?? My first thought was using certificates to make the communication secure and then use http request and responses but I am not sure if this is actually possible.

Appreaciate any ideas!!
