+== Description ==
+
+SharedCookieAuthPlugin allows cookies to be shared between Trac instances in the same environment (i.e. directory).  The plugin monkey-patches `trac.web.auth.LoginModule` so that cookies get set at `/` instead of `req.base_path` (though see trac:#8486 for the request to make this configurable). The incoming request is then passed by the `authenticate` method of the `IAuthenticator` interface to projects that peer the project of interest to see if the user is authenticated there.  This enables single-sign on for Trac projects in the same directory.
+
+Currently, this is pretty slow, as all of the peer environments are opened per authentication attempt.  Any help making it faster is welcome, or I'll probably eventually get around to it.
