You'll need to have SOME shared data between the two domains.

Perhaps you could have a table in the database, for example, with
username and current sess_id on each site.

In your link to the "other" site, you'd embed their username and the
sess_id on the "current" site, and pass it on to the other site.

The HORRIBLE weakness here is that ANYBODY could intercept that
sess_id and break into the "other" site.

So, it's do-able, it's just not secure!

The sess_id's are different because domains cannot share Cookies. 
SUB-domains can share cookies, however.

So if the admin sections can both be put on foo.example.com and
bar.example.com, the cookie can be set to example.com, and foo and bar
can share it (I think).

Here's the thing:  Almost anything I can think of that you can do to
make it easy for the user to login between admin applications, will
make the admin applications inherently insecure.
