django_xsession is a middleware that offers session sharing across multiple domains (using the same session backend obviously). Can be used to allow single sign-on across multiple websites.
python setup.py install
Add django_xsession to your INSTALLED_APPS and load the XSessionMiddleware class. Then set the domain names you want to share the session cookie.
settings.py snippet:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django_xsession.middleware.XSessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
)
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django_xsession',
)
XSESSION_DOMAINS = ['www.domain1.org', 'www.domain2.org', 'www.domain3.org']You also need to add the xsession_loader to the head section of your base template.
base.html (or whatever filename you use):
{% load django_xsession %}
<html>
<head>
{% xsession_loader %}
</head>
<body>
<h1>hello world</h1>
</body>
</html>You'll need to make sure that you're rendering the template with RequestContext, as well.
