Question

Cookies different for http://mysite vs. http://www.mysite

My site stores users login info in cookies and I noticed that they values stored can be different for http://mysite vs. http://www.mysite.  More specifically, I login with two test accounts then logout (storing the username in a cookie) and then I output the username to the screen.  The cookie value is different for http://mysite vs. http://www.mysite even though I followed the same login/logout process on each.

    I go to http://mysite and login with username_x.  Then I logout.  Then I navigate to http://www.mysite and login with username_y.  Then I logout.

    Then I open both URLs up in different windows and each window remembers a different username.  That's not what I want.  I want only one value stored in the username cookie regardless of www. or not.

    When you look at the cookies in firebug or some other cookie-viewing tool, do they have different domain values?

    Have you tried setting usedomaincookies="true" in your App.cfc?
