XF 2.2 Pass user authentication to embedded iframe

[moccajoghurt]

Hi,

I am extending my forum by self-written web apps and embed them via iframes. I am not creating plugins because PHP is not my language of choice.
I am currently facing the problem that I need to pass the xenforo user authentication into my embedded iframe so I have the ability to do things that only a logged-in user can do (e.g. liking a post).

Is there a way to do this?

Cheers

I think that's possible but need some custom development on XF side.

There are multiple ways, depending on what exactly you would like to pass where.

I just want to pass the necessary cookies values via postmessage into the iframe. The client inside the iframe will then use the cookie to send a request to the forum as the user.
