How to share session variables over different servers

[John Sheppard]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to send session variables between two
different servers...
My web host gives me two servers, one normal server and one that has SSL on
it. When my web page goes to the SSL server I need to read the session
variables from the original normal server.

Does anyone know how to go about doing this? The obvious way would be to
send a variable with the url and get it with the queryString but I dont want
to do that as the customer can see and change things I don't want them to.

Any advice would be excellent help
Thank you for your time reading my message.
John

Is this all on the same box? IIRC, you should be able to do this. HTTPS
is a protocal, do it should not make any difference.

It may be on the same box, I'm not sure, its not internally hosted, the web
hosting company is quiet large so im guessing they have lots of computers. I
have tried sharing them and it has not worked before. I will ask the web
hosting guys.

Thank you

You'll need to keep your session data in a database and pass an identifier
back and forth either as a cookie (set 2, one for each site), as a form
element, or as a query-string parameter. There is an example here:
