Using 5.0
in config/session.php I have set 'domain' => '.example.com'
but it is not working. I cannot persist a session on even one domain like this.
My site has many subdomains:
vancouver.example.com
newyork.example.com
etc... they are hosted on the same server and are the same Laravel app (share the same storage directory)
I login with the correct credentials, upon which the app redirects to another page on the site, and I have no session at that point. var_dump(Auth::user())
shows null
even though I logged in with the correct credentials.
storage/framework/sessions
shows 14 different files there, they are all for me and I cleared them out before I started testing this.
I'll attach my AuthController@postLogin method below, which works fine if session.php 'domain' => null
public function postLogin(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'email' => 'required|email', 'password' => 'required',
]);
$credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
if ($this->auth->attempt($credentials, $request->has('remember'))) {
Session::flash('message', 'You are now logged in.');
Session::flash('status', 'success');
if (str_contains($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], '?goto=')) {
$params = explode('?', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])[1];
$target = explode('=', $params)[1];
} else {
$target = '/';
}
return redirect($target);
}
return redirect($this->loginPath())
->withInput($request->only('email', 'remember'))
->withErrors([
'email' => $this->getFailedLoginMessage(),
]);
}
