Not logged in in subdomain?

Rails
1

For some reason my users get logged out when they switch to a
subdomain.
I have this in my environment:

config.action_controller.session = {
  :session_key => '_app_session',
  :session_domain => 'mydomain.com',
  :secret      => 'xxxx'
}

Which I thought would cover that…

help!

You need to specify a wildcard domain for your auth cookie. The default
is to use the entire domain.

Here’s a blog post explaining how:

This is still not working for us.

we have:

if RAILS_ENV == ‘production’
config.action_controller.session = {
:session_key => ‘_site_session’,
:session_domain => ‘.site.com’,
:secret => ‘xxxxx’
}
else
config.action_controller.session = {
:session_key => ‘_site_session’,
:session_domain => ‘.site.local’,
:secret => ‘xxxxx’
}
end

and when users switch between sub domains or between no subdomain (we
don’t use www… maybe that is the problem?) and a subdomain they need
to log in again.

Like I say, we are having no luck with this.
I am going to post a job on oDesk to hire someone to fix it… unless
anyone wants to apply directly to me.
