Cookies (working with another application)

Question

Hello,
I am currently working on a project. I finished everything in the project but there are many requests to bypass the login page. Currently users log on to a facutly site which then gives them the link to my application. The password for the faculty site and my own differ. They are requesting that the login page can be avoided when opening the application from the faculty site.
I read a similar thread at Re: How to co-work with another application with Cookie or something
So, the faculty page would authenticate. My application uses the same database, but should work well as is. There is no transfering of information between applications. Basically all my application needs to do is log the user in automatically.
I believe this is done via cookies. I've tried some OWA_COOKIE procedures, but I think I am doing it all wrong. It is an area that I've never covered.
Any help would be great. Thanks

On a further note,
I used the same logic as in the thread Re: How to co-work with another application with Cookie or something
On page 150 I set the cookie using:
begin
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
owa_cookie.send(
expires => sysdate+10,
name=>'TEST',
value=>lower('testing'));
wwv_flow.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
owa_util.redirect_url('f?p=&APP_ID.:200:&SESSION.');
exception when others then null;
end;
Then on page 200 I read it using:
declare
v varchar2(255) := null;
c owa_cookie.cookie;
begin
c := owa_cookie.get('srprt');
:TEXTFIELD1 := '';
:TEXTFIELD1 := c.vals(1);
exception when others then null;
end;
this works. So what I would like to do now is read in a cookie from the other site. Is this at all possible?
