Rails 3.2 - Writing cookie value without encoding

Question

We have a few web applications that share a cookie value ssoid.

When the user logs into our Rails application, we want to set the ssoid value in the cookie but Rails is URL encoding the value by default.

cookies[:ssoid] = session[:token]

Value written to the cookie store is

ABCpRyan0fLwMamiT%2F9GGk2o%2FAPckq1C8PbHCotxmgUk%3D

instead of

ABCpRyan0fLwMamiT/9GGk2o/APckq1C8PbHCotxmgUk=

Is there a way to avoid this?

Answer 1

I think that you can use the memcached gem to store cookies in one commun place and share that cookie across multiple apps you can also take a look at sharing session across rails apps on different subdomains as a subdomain is seen as a different site or app

I hope that I could help.
