Question
How can I set up SSL login authentication on one domain for multiple domains
Our site currently runs in 22 countries with 22 different
country domains:
www.mysite.com
www.mysite.co.uk
www.mysite.fr
etc
We want to use SSL on our login pages but realise that the cost of certification for every domain is expensive. One solution would be to channel all login activity to a single domain, eg: www.mysite.com/login.cfm?site=fr which would then redirect to www.mysite.fr – this is how Google do it
But, currently we are using encrypted cookies for login authentication so we would have the problem of having to transfer the cookie info across domains securely. Is there any way of going about this?
Any other suggestions would be great, too. We do plan to move to session management for logins but this is a longer term project so we are hoping to sort out the SSL prior to that.
