Rails: how can I share permanent cookies across multiple subdomains?

Question

My app\'s register and login processes take place on a secure subdomain. For this reason, I have modified config/initializers/session_store.rb to look like

Answer 1

You need to specify the domain using a more verbose cookie setting method:

cookies[:some_cookie] = {
  :value => "whatever",
  :domain => ".app_name.com",
  :expires => 1.year.from_now.utc
}

I haven't found a configuration setting to do this globally yet.
