I am displaying page from DNN site in an iframe in an (web)app. How can I seamlessly authenticate the DNN page hosted in iFrame, from different (web)App, so that User dont have to manually Enter UserName and password. DNN is typically doing forms based authentication, what would be preferred way of doing this authentication ? ( what is possible / recomended: Basic authentication, cookie, url ... ?) Suggestion or Link(s) to suggestions are welcome.
There isn't really a good way to do this without a bunch of additional steps in the middle. DNN's authentication options out of the box are either forms authentication which requires a login, or the transmission of the login info. or JWT which would require a login before and a token to be passed after.
Additionally, there are some security concerns with a logged-in user being inside of an iframe. As any outside site can then access cookies/information from that user account.
