Cookie information between service

[Robin Reumers]

I’m running Joomla as my content management system (I’m running this site hosted by godaddy), in Joomla, I’m using an iframe (wrapper) to include my ftp server (using Rumpus on a local machine), so I wanted to authenticate based on the cookies Rumpus is creating (because I can’t alter their code), but is there a way to get the cookies if they are based on another host? I haven’t found a way yet to do it, maybe someone with a good idea?

Cookies include a hostname component that they relate to.

For security reasons a site in one domain cannot set a cookie in another domain, so if your Rumpus server is in a different domain from your web site, you are out of luck,

However, if they’re in the same domain, you can set a domain-wide cookie in the web page. This should then be passed through to Rumpus (and, indeed, any other web server in your domain).

Without know more about your network setup it’s impossible to advise more.
