$cookie_domain not working
I'm using saltwebsites.de to provide the german version of saltwebsites.com. I set $cookie_domain in my settings.php file so that I can preserve logins across domains but it's not working - saltwebsites.de doesn't recognise that I'm logged in on saltwebsites.com. Additionally checking my browser cookies shows that I'm still getting cookies from saltwebsites.de. It seems to be rudely disobeying the setting. Anyone have any idea why that might be? (I only have sites/default/settings.php - no sites set up other than "default"). Fletch

Yeah, its annoying me as well. Especially, the misspelling of 'reply'. Vasileios Lourdas wrote:

Since you are changing the tld (top level domain), simply changing $cookie_domain won't work. Browsers won't send out the cookie from one tld to another. The only easy fix would be to setup a subdomain of saltwebsites.com for the German version, something like de.saltwebsites.com and then redirect saltwebsites.de to this new site. Then you can set your cookie_domain to .saltwebsites.com and it would work across all subdomains. Jamie Holly http://www.intoxination.net http://www.hollyit.net John Fletcher wrote:

Ahh... that sucks... but thanks for giving me the answer. Yeah previously in such cases I had people just log into each site separately but thought there might be a nice solution. Unfortunately the subdomain technique has other drawbacks that aren't worth it. I don't think I'm going to bother implementing this right now, but in theory... let's say you configured Firefox to "accept third-party cookies" (false by default) could you set a cookie for both domains whenever a person logs in to one of them? Would that solve the problem? Fletch
Just allowing third-party cookies won't do the trick. You actually need a module to handle setting the cross-domain cookies. You can try using Shared Sign-On. I've never tried it, but it might work out for you: http://drupal.org/node/50418 Jamie Holly http://www.intoxination.net http://www.hollyit.net John Fletcher wrote:
