Hi
I need to provide some basic security between two web servers. It needs to
be simple to implement. The scenario is as follows:
1. User logs on to website using ASP.NET authentication/authorization
2. They see a list of hyperlinks to documents to download
3. The documents are located on another web server so the links are a
hyperlinks something like:
http://server1/download.aspx?doc1
4. The download.aspx page can locate the document on the second server via
http through a firewall simply filtering by the server1 IP address / post
80.
5. I need to send a post request with username/password for server2 to
authenticate, not sure how to do this
6. If authenticated then I want to load the document into memory on server1
and stream to the response. I know how to stream documents from the same
server but not sure how to do it from another server.
Can someone provide me with a good starting point or suggestions?
Many thanks
Andrew
