I need an authentication bridge between AC7 (ASP.NET) and ColdFusion. I want to integrate some external ColdFusion applications with AbleCommerce. I need to be able to set AC7 authentication variables from ColdFusion and set ColdFusion variables from AC7. Anyone done this before?
I know ColdFusion 8 has native .NET integration and some COM support. Also, could possibly use WDDX or web services.
Thanks,

Re: Login authentication integration
You are thinking single sign-on shared between cold fusion application and AbleCommerce, right?
It has been a long time since I have worked with ColdFusion and as far as I'm aware nobody here has tried this. I think the question posed here is too general... you will have to attempt to link up your application to AC and then see where the challenges are. Then we can provide more directed input.

Re: Login authentication integration
Yes, a shared single sign-on because I don't want users to login through AC7 to access my other CF apps but if someone wants to purchase something from the store and they are already in the CF app, I prefer them not to have to login again to AC7. Also if someone has logged in to the store and then goes to the CF app, they shouldn’t need to login again.
Is there some object that holds the session information for AC7? I just need some guidance for reading/writing this class/object name with functions, methods, etc., is there any documentation for this? I can figure out the ColdFusion code, I just need an API reference. Could NVelocity (CommerceBuilder.Users.User) be used for this? Also, I'm not that familiar with .NET just old ASP.
I'm installing AC7 this weekend so I'll be able to test some ideas out. I'll report back with my solution.
Thank you.
