Rails - Oct 2006 - How to pass users over to ASP.Net app seamlessly ?

I am developing a Rails app and I''m considering using LGXReport
( see http://www.logixml.com/rdPage.aspx?rdReport=LGXReport )
Worth checking out by the way, its free.
Anyway, its a ASP.Net app and I''m using SQL Server. It uses open xml
for
its report format, and can use xml, a webservice or a database for a 
datasource.

It requires users to login. Is it easy/possible to generate the 
appropriate request from Rails to seamlessly pass the user over to an 
ASP.NET app ?
I don''t want users to have to log in twice.

I guess I would have to also generate user accounts from Rails on the 
ASP.NET side, or perhaps all Rails users could use a single account on 
LGXReport. Any ideas about this ?

I''m a newbie on Rails, ASP and web development in general, but an 
experienced developer in other areas.

Regards

Gary

Something you can try is to setup Rails to use a DB as it''s session 
store.  It shouldn''t be too hard then to have .NET read out of the
table
then to see who is logged in, etc.  Another option is to have a DRB 
process that kicks off when someone logs in and talks to a .NET listener 
that makes the appropriate changes on the .NET side (ie: writes to the 
SQL DB and marks the users as currently logged in, etc.)

Probably several other ways to solve this as well.
