How to authenticate against a single customer portal across multiple sites

We are in the process of implementing two separate sites that authenticate against a (the same) customer portal:

 

- Site 1 is a ideas base theme site that requires authentication via self-registration to a customer portal.

- Site 2 is a support site that requires authentication via self-registration to the same customer portal.

 

Each site when taken alone works fine, both for public / guest users and authenticated users.

 

The problem is that the authentication performed on one site does not "stick" when navigating to the other site, even though they both authenticate against the same customer portal. In other words, if a user authenticates on site 1, and then navigates to site 2, then site 2 does not recognize the user as already authenticated, and the user has to present credentials again.

 

How can we make the authentication work across multiple sites that use the same customer portal?

 

I'd appreviate any ideas and suggestions.

 

Thanks,

 

Martin

Force.com Sites is designed so that each Site requires separate authentication. 

 

Since both sites use the same customer portal, would you be able to combine your two sites into a single site?
