vb.org Archive - View Single Post - VB and Sub-Domains & Session Cookies

TMR Bac · #1 02-09-2005, 09:10 PM

Hey All, I recently successfully installed the latest version of VB. That was the easy part. The hard part for me is that I have an existing site-wide login this forum is replacing, so I need to use this forum login and session cookie to do the following across all sub-domains:

Check for and decode the vb cookie that has the login information in it to determine if they are logged in or not.

If they are, extract either the username or userid (or both if available) from that cookie.

So in a nutshell, the user will use the VB login and forums, but then can navigate to xxx.domain.com, yyy.domain.com, etc. and will still need to appear as logged in.

Here is an example of it working in action: forum.teamxbox.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Dan
