Hi
I am trying to make head and tail of a critical problem I am facing. I
have my railsapp which has its own user table and account management.
Along with that, I am installing Opinion forum as a subdomain on the
server. As you know, Opinion has its own user table and account
management. I want the user to login once and access domains and
subdomains without having to login again.
From an earlier post to his forum, I got the solution for having a domain wide cookie. So one part of the problem is solved.
There are some options I am looking at:
- When a new user signs up on the main railsapp, I need to insert a
record (a kind of replication) in the opiniondb as well to keep the user
account working. Is it possible to insert a record in another db? - Short circuit the User model of opinion to authenticate users from
railsapp’s db user_table instead of opiniondb’s user_table. (maybe Any
opinion experts can help me there?) - Any other ides for a Shared User model?
Awaiting expert suggestions and solutions
Thanks
Rajesh
