I'm trying to wrap my head around DNN.  I've installed the latest version and have played around with the included modules a bit.

If I use DNN, I need to be able to link to an exitsting web application, and I'd like to pass something like a UserID to prevent the user from having to authenticate again.  I've figured out that I would probably need to create a custom parameter ("Profile Property"), but then the question is, how do I pass that to my web application.  I don't want to use a querystring, but even if I did, how would I dynamically populate the string with the User's custom ID?

It seems the HTML module only likes simple HTML, and not ASP code.  I found the IFrame module, but I really don't want to have the application running within the DNN framework.

Would this require a custom built module?  If so, I would guess that there is probably a user object of some sort that I could use?

Thanks for any insight!

Hello, BSAMPSON,

There are modules that allow doing what you need. I make the XsltDb module, that can do what you want.

1. Login a user with mdo:login(username, password) function. optionaly, you can retrieve a password with mdo:password(user-id) function.
2. You can put a Control from your application on DotNetnuke page (if they have the same virtual root - thay are the same web app).

You can play with samples and download module at http://xsltdb.codeplex.com
