I have a member's area on my website on my default port 80, there is a user app running on port 8080 of my website called UserPort, when a user goes to UserPort a new empty(has no username inside) session is created. Is there anyway for me to keep the same session from port 80 onto port 8080?
EDIT: Ok so I was referred to the following answer for my problem=Same Session ID on Same IP Address but Different Ports but the code isn't explained well, do I put the first segment of the code with port 110 into my member's area page and put the second segment into my UserPort page?
Because there are two different servers, you cannot easily (as in out-of-the-box) share the session. However, you could make a request from your apache app to your tornado app to "prepare" a session for the user. Then, when the user is redirected to the UserPort, she should get something to identify herself. Because of this: Are HTTP cookies port specific? it's not reliable to use cookies, so a one-off token in the URL would probably do.
To put it into a very simplified pseude code:
// apache
$token = createRandomString();
call($tornadoAppUrl, $userData, $token);
$link = createUserPortLink($tornadoAppUrl, $token);
echo "<a href='$link'>go to UserPort</a>"
//tornado UserPort
$token =
$userData = getUserSession($token);
... act accordingly
Hope it's clear.
