Web Applications on different servers

Question

Hello,
I have a web app (App 1) running on OAS and have another web app (App 2) running on different instance of OAS.
App 1 calls App 2 (currently achieved using Struts Action Forward with redirect="true" in struts-config.xml)
I need to pass some user login related information from App1 to App2? How can I do this?
Thanks for you help!

Hello, Rex;
You cannot logon to InfoView using the URL and a token. You need to create an Identity cookie on the infoview side similar to the following:
Create an aspx page with the following code:
           CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.SessionMgr sessMgr = new CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.SessionMgr();
          //Log onto Enterprise and create an EnterpriseSession
           CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.EnterpriseSession enterpriseSession;
           enterpriseSession = sessMgr.Logon("Administrator", "", System.Environment.MachineName.ToString(), "secEnterprise");
           //Create a CrystalIdentity object, set the EnterpriseSession and store in session
           BusinessObjects.Enterprise.Infoview.Common.CrystalIdentity identity;
           identity = new BusinessObjects.Enterprise.Infoview.Common.CrystalIdentity();
           identity.Session = enterpriseSession;
           HttpContext.Current.Session.Add("INFOVIEW_SESSION", identity);
           //Create the InfoViewdotnetses cookie which holds the SerializedSession
           HttpCookie InfoViewdotnetses = new HttpCookie("InfoViewdotnetses");
           InfoViewdotnetses.Value = Server.UrlEncode(enterpriseSession.SerializedSession.ToString());
           InfoViewdotnetses.Path = @"/";
           Response.Cookies.Add(InfoViewdotnetses);
           Response.Redirect("logon.aspx");
Place this page in the InfoViewApp folder (C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Web Content\InfoViewApp\InfoViewApp
Let me know if that is what you are looking for.
