You would need to write (or commission) a module to authenticate based on Referer. That of course wouldn't tell you the authenticated name of your user, unless you had an individualised URL at one (or both) of the hosts in question. It would also fail for users whose privacy settings won't tell you where they're coming from. Alternatively, a move to directory authentication such as LDAP might help. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
