title: Form authentication using two different machines
body: <p>Suppose I have 2 applications called "app1" and "app2" on two different machines and I want to use common form authentication.</p>
  
  <p>There is one form called CElaunch.aspx in app2 and I want to use this page in app1. We can't navigate to this page directly for some reason as it forwards to the login page which is in app1. It does not seem to pick up that we have already been authenticated.</p>
  
  <p>App2 web.config file</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt; authentication mode="Forms" &gt;
        &lt; forms loginUrl="http://slx75pc/SlxClientSC73/Login.aspx" domain="configengine.com" protection="All" timeout="30"
      name=".SLXAUTH" path="/" defaultUrl="default.aspx" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="true"
      cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" enableCrossAppRedirects="true" / &gt;
      &lt; / authentication &gt;
      &lt; machineKey
                validationKey="key"
                decryptionKey="key"
                validation="SHA1"
                / &gt;
      &lt; authorization &gt;
        &lt; deny users="?" / &gt;
  
      &lt; / authorization &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>App1 web.config</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;authentication mode="Forms"&gt;
        &lt; forms loginUrl="http://slx75pc/SlxClientSC73/Login.aspx" domain="configengine.com" protection="All" timeout="30"
      name=".SLXAUTH" path="/" defaultUrl="default.aspx" requireSSL="false" slidingExpiration="true"
      cookieless="UseDeviceProfile" enableCrossAppRedirects="true" / &gt;
      &lt; / authentication &gt;
      &lt; machineKey
                validationKey="key"
                decryptionKey="key"
                validation="SHA1"
                / &gt;
      &lt; authorization &gt;
        &lt; deny users="?" / &gt;
  
      &lt; / authorization &gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I navigate the CElauncvh.aspx page from app1 then it is not displaying the page which I want. It redirects to Login page.</p>
