Getting userID and authentication state

Hi,<br /><br />I would like to use the IFrame portlet so I can redirect portal users to specific applications (in Perl, JSP or PHP) but I do no want them to relogin again. The idea I had is to get them through a central authentication system linked to Liferay : the source of the IFrame portlet would be something like <a href='http://www.mydomain.com/validation?userid=USERID&autheticated=AUTH' target='_blank'>http://www.mydomain.com/validation?userid=...theticated=AUTH</a>. <br />where USERID = the user ID in liferay and AUTH=yes if the user is already authenticated against Liferay portal. <br /><br />Of course, other security layer will be needed like a VPN...etc. But my aim is the avoid relogin again for all the portal users.<br /><br />So, how can I get the attributes USERID and AUTH and add them to my validation URL ?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
