Subdomains and Logins

authentication, django, login-control, python, subdomain

Solution

Without information regarding what platform you are using, it is difficult to say. If you use cookies to store authentication information, and you are using subdomains as you describe, then you can force the cookie to be issued for the highest level domain, e.g. domain_name.com.

This will be accessable by both sub1 and sub2, and they could each use that for their authentication.

EDIT:

In the settings.py for each application running under the subdomains, you need to put `SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN = ".domain_name.com"` as per the django docs

Problem

If you multiple subdomains e.g.: sub1.domain_name.com sub2.domain_name.com Is there a way to have a user be able to log into both of these without issues and double login issue? The platform is Python, Django.
