I have two asp.net applications on one IIS server and I would like to use the same back end asp_security database and membership provider. I've read that all I have to do is reference the same application name in both web configs as I'm doing now, but I must be doing something wrong

In each applications web.config I have this section. 

<membership>
  <providers>
    <clear/>
    <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
              type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
              connectionStringName="membership"
              enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
              enablePasswordReset="true"
              requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
              applicationName="/"
              requiresUniqueEmail="false"
              minRequiredPasswordLength="5"
              minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
              passwordFormat="Hashed"
              maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"
              passwordAttemptWindow="10"
              passwordStrengthRegularExpression=""
              />
  </providers>
</membership>

When I log in from application A and browse to application B application B doesn't seem to know anything about me or my credentials from application A. Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing incorrectly?
