Single Sign On between a Web application and Windows forms application/WPF #813

Hi,

I have configured IdServer v2 and added 2 mvc applications as relying parties. I was able to achieve single sign on functionality for both web appications. Currently there is a requirement, single sign on should be implemented between a web and windows forms application. Please help me in sorting out this requirement, any specific samples would be great help.

Thanks, Sanjeeva.

SSO requires a common context, e.g. your browser, as it is based on cookies. Your windows forms application will not be able to run in that context.

Okay, Is there any approach or any ideas how to solve this issue?
