I have a standalone website that I am trying to limit access to. Currently the user logs into DNN and then they can access the page

which contains an IFRAME. This allows them to get to the external webpage when logged in. The problem is that some users have

figured out the direct link from within the IFRAME and they are bypassing the security by going directly to the url. Is there some way

that I can add an authentication check to my external website so that it will not allow them to access the content  unless the DNN

user is logged in or the request came from DNN?

what you need to apply to your web site is some kind of single sign on. options depend on the technology used for the other site - static HTML, PHP, ASP or ASP.Net?

The external site is ASP.Net. I think I found a way by using Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") to check which page they are coming from. But I would like to find a better solution.

A simple webservice would do the trick. I do this often between a few apps to see if a user is authorized (viable user account) or is in Roll on a DNN site or the other way around. If you need a good starting point, try Micheal Washington's IWeb module, it's very flexible and easy to extend.

That would check to see if the user is a valid user in the database. I am checking to make sure the user is logged in right now. And that the request came from the dnn website. This way the end use can not simply point to the url that is inside the iframe and bypass security.
