I would do it by a session item value... provided the sites are relative to each other... ex:

MySite.com\Security
MySite.com\Operations

Session.Add( "UserID", Valid_Login_Info )

So the session cookie could be visible to the mysite.com and carry forward to the other pages that are all subdirectories of mysite.com... Then

Response.Redirect( "Operations\WhateverPage.aspx" )


Then, in the WhateverPage.aspx, you would have access via

if Session.Item("UserID") is Nothing
response.redirect( "BackToLogin.aspx" )
else
x = Session.Item("UserID")
end if
