Please give me suggestions if you have experience in the area.

Scenario:
Two servers, a web server and a Crystal Reports server
Internal security (LAN) is not an issue, the WAN security is an issue
Users login to the web server. From there they click a hyperlink which needs to pull a report on the Crystal Reports server
Users currently are assigned a session variable when they login to the web server.
Both servers running IIS 5.0


Question:

How can I securely pass user info to the Crystal server without forcing them to login again? Do I only allow the Crystal reports server to accept requests from a certain referrer? Is this possible?
