How to pass user credentials between apps on the same server?
I have a wordpress site that authenticates against a local ldap database for users to login. On the same server and domain I have
subsonic installed that also authenticates against the same ldap database. The ldap database is firewalled front the outside wall and the internal LAN.
I would like to create a link from a wordpress page to the subsonic login page and also pass the user credentials at the same time to allow a seamless logon for the user into the subsonic app but do this in a secure fashion.
The url format for the wordpress site is home.mydomain.com/wordpress and for the subsonic app it's home.mydomain.com:4141
Both sites can be put on https if that helps?
Please be gentle as I have no coding experience. Thanks

ldap_url_parse
LDAP_URL(3) Library Functions Manual LDAP_URL(3)
NAME
ldap_is_ldap_url, ldap_url_parse, ldap_free_urldesc - LDAP Uniform Resource Locator routines
LIBRARY
OpenLDAP LDAP (libldap, -lldap)
SYNOPSIS
#include <ldap.h>
int ldap_is_ldap_url( const char *url )
int ldap_url_parse( const char *url, LDAPURLDesc **ludpp )
typedef struct ldap_url_desc {
char * lud_scheme; /* URI scheme */
char * lud_host; /* LDAP host to contact */
int lud_port; /* port on host */
char * lud_dn; /* base for search */
char ** lud_attrs; /* list of attributes */
int lud_scope; /* a LDAP_SCOPE_... value */
char * lud_filter; /* LDAP search filter */
char ** lud_exts; /* LDAP extensions */
int lud_crit_exts; /* true if any extension is critical */
/* may contain additional fields for internal use */
} LDAPURLDesc;
void ldap_free_urldesc( LDAPURLDesc *ludp );
DESCRIPTION
These routines support the use of LDAP URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) as detailed in RFC 4516. LDAP URLs look like this:
ldap://hostport/dn[?attrs[?scope[?filter[?exts]]]]
where:
hostport is a host name with an optional ":portnumber"
dn is the search base
attrs is a comma separated list of attributes to request
scope is one of these three strings:
base one sub (default=base)
filter is filter
exts are recognized set of LDAP and/or API extensions.
Example:
ldap://ldap.example.net/dc=example,dc=net?cn,sn?sub?(cn=*)
URLs that are wrapped in angle-brackets and/or preceded by "URL:" are also tolerated. Alternative LDAP schemes such as ldaps:// and
ldapi:// may be parsed using the below routines as well.
ldap_is_ldap_url() returns a non-zero value if url looks like an LDAP URL (as opposed to some other kind of URL). It can be used as a
quick check for an LDAP URL; the ldap_url_parse() routine should be used if a more thorough check is needed.
ldap_url_parse() breaks down an LDAP URL passed in url into its component pieces. If successful, zero is returned, an LDAP URL description
is allocated, filled in, and ludpp is set to point to it. If an error occurs, a non-zero URL error code is returned.
ldap_free_urldesc() should be called to free an LDAP URL description that was obtained from a call to ldap_url_parse().
