Integration with Umbraco and ASP.NET Login Controls

Has anyone had experience integrating the Tessitura web API with the Umbraco CMS?  I'm getting started on a new site, and I would appreciate any tips (especially standard / best practice ideas).

My progress so far:

I used wsdl.exe to create a proxy class from tessitura.asmx, which I compiled with csc.exe as a library (.dll).  I then dropped it in the new site's "bin" folder.  Using that, I have created some user controls (.ascx) that successfully communicate with the web API.  I have imported these user controls into Umbraco as "macros", and they successfully display data from the web API on its published pages.

I have yet to figure out how to integrate Tessitura's session keys and login functionality with Umbraco / ASP.NET's login controls.  I'm also curious if there are better ways of doing what I explained above.

Thanks,
Bryan
