Devise session sharing between subdomains

Question

I'm trying to share session between subdomain, but I couldn't.

I followed this Devise config, but it didn't work.

This is how my /etc/hosts looks like:

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       apedraza.bejoy.local
127.0.0.1       bejoy.local
127.0.1.1       augusto-Lenovo-G580
127.0.0.1       api.the_genesis.com

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

and my config/initializers/session_store.rb

Rails.application.config.session_store :cookie_store, key: '_bejoy_session', domain: ".bejoy.local"

In my bejoy.local:5000/users/sign_in, I created an account(with subdomain apedraza) and it redirects to apedraza.bejoy.local:5000/admin, but that routes redirects to apedraza.bejoy.local:5000/users/sign_in, that is because the session can't be found.

I have the rails app into a Docker container, so not sure if that could be a problem.

Thanks @iashraf for your reply.

I had already tried that, but didn't work for me.

However, after create a new rails project from scratch, I could see that config was correct.

So thanks to that, I found that the problem was on other place: I re-write the Registration controller for Devise, I screw it up because I used a redirect to a subdomain on the super block.

Finally, I deleted the redirect from the super block and put the url_path on the after_sign_up_path_for, and this worked!
