[Typo3-dev] sessions an subdomains

[Thorsten Kahler]

Hi Masi,

we already came across your problem indeed. And we found an existing  
solution to our problem, that may help you too.

We have two related web portals that are located on different subdomains  
(portal1.domain.tld, portal2.domain.tld). There's a central  
subdomain(www.domain.tld) for logins to both portals. We use a slightly  
modified version of "dkd_redirect_at_login" (Version 1.0.1 was a little  
bit to "simple") to send fe_users to the portal where they are registered.

There's just one single setting in page TSconfig to generate links, that  
"transfer" user sessions to another domain within the same TYPO3  
installation:

TSFE.jumpUrl_transferSession=1

I must admit that's just a solution for subdomains within the same TYPO3  
installation. But IMHO the TYPO3 cookie is of no value outside of the  
installation ;-)

Regards
Thorsten
