Logging in to multiple sites with the same credentials - DOTNET

If you use Forms Authentication on each site,
and the MachineKey settings are fixed (not "autogenerate")
and the site number e.g. .../W3Svc/"1" is the same on each
machine, and allowCrossAppRedirects is true in your Forms
settings in web.config, and the username / password/hash
values are the same in each Users SQL Server table, then
you should be able to have the user authenticated with the same
credentials on each site.
