shared login between forum and website (on different server users)

[lucavettu]

Hello guys.
I have the website in the www folder of the "website" user, and the forum in the ww folder of the "forum" user. On a page of my website I want to check if the user is logged or not in the forum, so it shows or not something.

I can include the SSI.php script in that page, I can use functions like ssi_recentPosts(); with no problem at all... but for example if I use ssi_welcome(); it shows me "Welcome, Guest. Please login or register. Did you miss your activation email?", and indeed $context['user']['is_guest'] value is 1. But I am logged in the server forum!

I've read:
1) topic 1 and
2) topic 2

but it doesn't help me at all. Any idea?

EDIT: stupid error

is "subdomain independent cookies" checked ON in your SMF server settings?

what is the url of the forum?
what is the url of your other script?
