Forum OpenACS Development: Allow Host Node Mapped Host Names for Cookies

I think something like this procedure to be used when setting cookiedomain could be useful.

ad_proc sec_get_cookiedomain {} {
    Get the CookieDomain
    Support host-node-mapped domains that are not a subdomain of the
    main subsite
} {
    set domain [parameter::get -parameter CookieDomain -package_id [ad_acs_kernel_id]]
    set location [util_current_location]
    if {![regexp [string map {. \\.} $domain] $location]} {
        set host_node_map_hosts_list [db_list -cache_key security-locations-host-names get_node_host_names "select host from host_node_map"]
        foreach host $host_node_map_hosts_list {
            ns_log notice "Checking host '${host}'"
            if {[regexp [string map {. \\.} $host] $location]} {
                set domain $host
            }
        }
    }
    return $domain
}

Thanks, I think I need to learn more about how this works and get some more information about how this should be set for a specific installation.

Can you clarify your example?

Are foo. and bar. served by the same Naviserver instance or are they separate sites?

If cookie domains are a problem, perhaps we need to remove or identify the issue with that setting?
