    55SharedCookieAuthPlugin 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`. ^See following note^ 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.

    97Note: As per request in [trac:ticket:8486 T#8486] a new configuration option, has been introduced to Trac with changeset [trac:changeset:9226 'T:[9226]'], that accomplished this:
    108{{{
     
    1311auth_cookie_path = /var/www/trac
    1412}}}
    15 So this has been made a part of Trac, and the plugin is obsoleted for Trac version >= 0.12.
    16 }}}
     13So this has been made a part of Trac, and a simplified plugin version (not yet available) should work for Trac version >= 0.12 without that monkey-patching.
