Navigate from App A to App B w/ same credentials - APEX 19.2

I have a workspace with 6 apps using the same database and database user accounts. App A is a user manager app that handles user info and user role info for all the apps in the workspace.

I have a 'Change Password' link in the right navbar of all the applications in the workspace that I would like to link to a 'Change Password' page that is in App A.

The intended flow I'm looking for:

How would I go about setting something like this up. Also, didn't know if it would be easier to have the 'Change Password' page in APP A be a modal so this way it just overlays the current app I'm in and may be easier then having to do redirects if it was a standard page, but not sure how the modal would behave in this instance.

Thanks,

Mike

As all those applications belong to the same workspace, you're kind of lucky as this primitive single sign-on is easy to set up.

Go to every application's

- Shared components
  - Authentication schemes (choose the current scheme you're using)
    - Session cookie attributes
      - Put cookie name into ... well, "Cookie name" attribute; 
        let's call it MCRIVERS_COOKIE

Link you use to navigate between applications should use &SESSION., e.g.

http://myserver:8084/apex/f?p=100:1:&SESSION.

and that's it.

As of the modal page: try it; I didn't but I think it should work. Now that you don't have to enter credentials while moving from one application to another, modal page should just pop-up once you call it.
