Can I have a single Meteor sign-in across subdomains?

Question

I have just deployed a site built using Meteor 0.7.2, which is served at both example.com and www.example.com.

If a user signs in on one (e.g. www.example.com), they are not signed in on the other (e.g. example.com).

Is there a way to have a single sign-in across the two subdomains? Or should I simply redirect the user away from one of them?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Meteor uses localStorage (instead of session cookies) for storing authentication information. This localStorage is not accessible to any other site, including super-domains. Hence, redirecting, IMO, is the best option here.

You can achieve this by rolling your own API by extending accounts Oauth Check out this article: http://meteorhacks.com/extending-meteor-accounts.html
