title: How to share authentication context between a SharePoint 2010 Site and ASP.NET applications
body: <p>Is it possible to share the claims based authentication of a logged in Sharepoint 2010 user with a separate Asp.net application? </p>
  
  <p>The following <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff649308.aspx#paght000007_sharingauthenticationtickets" rel="nofollow noreferrer">article</a> describes how it was done using Sharepoint 2007 and forms authentication through forms auth and sharing machine keys etc however I cannot find any information regarding the external application consuming the claims authentication that is now used in Sharepoint 2010?</p>
