this is the path structure:

main-path: --application 1
               --client web 
               --admin web
           --application 2
               --clinet web
           --application 3
               --admin web

this is the logics:

client web -> client web = only need one session,
admin web  -> admin web = only need one session

FYI: i am using subdomain in this porject url.

Answer 1

It's quite easy when your applications remain on the same domain.

You can do it via session_set_cookie_params function, or via /application/config/config.php file, under the Cookie section.

Edit the following lines.

$config['cookie_prefix']    = 'yourdomain_';
$config['cookie_domain']    = '.yourdomain.com'; //make it visible to all subdomains
$config['cookie_path']      = '/';
$config['cookie_secure']    = FALSE;
$config['cookie_httponly']  = FALSE;

Please note that if used, $config['encryption_key'] and $config['sess_cookie_name'] should have the same values on both applications.
