jsp - using cookies for single sign on with sso server -


is possible implement single sign on using authentication server(idp) using cookies ?

here scenario :

  1. we have multiple web applications (esp's) .
  2. each esp may request idp authenticate user .
  3. now idp authenticates user via desired authentication protocol , stores cookie in user's browser time stamp maybe .
  4. now next time when esp requests user authentication , first of idp checks if there exists cookie in browser , if exists authenticates user otherwise again goes through authentication process user .

please guide me if on going right track .

what suggesting referred "persistent login cookie authentication" or "remember me authentication" , it's standard practice. can find article on how implement such mechanism securely @ http://jaspan.com/improved_persistent_login_cookie_best_practice

some frameworks spring security have concept implemented in stack. might ready-made single sign-on frameworks jasig cas tend have these features available.
