API & Self Service Session

Hi,
 
I want to validate a self service portal session , But can't understand if it's possiable.
 
I want to place in a case page on the SSP a link to my php application on my remote server, I'm passing to it the session id , so the php will authenticate the session using API without requring the user to relogin.

I believe you can authenticate the session by including the ssp sessionid in the soap header then make a request to the server such as getServerTimestamp(). You should only be able to do that with a validated session, which you should already have from the ssp.

php example (you'll need to set $session with the session id from ssp):

Code:
try
{
 $sforceReq = new SoapClient("sforce.wsdl");
   
 //Set the sessionid in the header
 $sforceReq->__setLocation('https://na3-api.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/10.0');
 $sforce_header = new SoapHeader('urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com', 'SessionHeader', array('sessionId' => $session));
 $sforceReq->__setSoapHeaders(array($sforce_header));
 
        //send a request with the session id from ssp.
 $userinfo = $sforceReq->getServerTimestamp();
 
 //do some stuff now bc if we get past the server request, we have a validated session
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
     echo $e;
}
