Please excuse me if this has been covered elsewhere - I'm a new user.

I want to implement single sign-on. Before accessing the forum, users will have already logged into a separate username/password protected site and an authentication cookie will have been created. My requirement is to then allow them to access the forum which needs to pick up the authentication cookie and use this to log them in without needing to re-enter their user name and password.

The parent site is asp.net and the cookie containing the authentication data is encrypted.

I see that authentication against various data sources is possible, but I specifically need to confirm that it's possible to create a plugin that will decrypt the cookie and use the decrypted username and password to authenticate against an MS SQL Server database table.

Many thanks.
