Hack #1 a.k.a. The Poor Man's Single Sign On (SSO)

I'm a technical consultant - think Web technology.  A few days ago a client of mine asked me to enable users who had already logged onto web-server A to be able to access certain "protected" content on web-server B.  The two websites share a common domain name.  For example:  website A's name is www.mysite.com and website B's name is learning.mysite.com. 

Did I mention that website B could only support HTML? 

I'll share my solution over the next couple posts.  For now, the hint is mod_rewrite.
