Beaker session across multiple sub-domains

[Pavel Skvazh]

The case is that when I work with sub-domain (i.e. my.example.com),
set some session variables and then go to some other domain (i.e.
www.example.com) the session is empty. No cookie is issued as well.

Have anyone faced this issue before and what's the best practice to
keep the session persistent across sub_domains

Thanks!

Yes. In general:

* setup routing with subdomain=True:

http://routes.groovie.org/manual.html#sub-domain-support

* add to your config.ini

base_domain = yourbasedomain.com

* add BaseController.__before__ code:

if session.is_new:
session.cookie[session.key]['domain'] =
'.%s'%request.environ['paste.config']['app_conf']['base_domain']
session.cookie[session.key]['path']= '/'
session.request['cookie_out'] =
session.cookie[session.key].output(header='')

Note however, that this trick is pre 0.9.6. Now it might be easier to setup.

Thanks a lot for the fast response!

Haven't got time to give it a deep look, but plug and play method
didn't work.
Beaker evolved a lot lately so plobably this hack won't work with the
latest version.

It'll be great if probably Ben could take a look and hint on the best
practice way to achieve this.

You need to specify to use just the last portion (.example.com) for
the beaker cookie. You can set this in your ini file with:
beaker.session.cookie_domain = .example.com

Solved. Thanks as usual, Ben!
