Modifying the session :key

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hello,

I have my base session settings in config/initializers/session_store.rb

I want to override the :key option in one of my environment files. I'm attempting to do so like this...

config.action_controller.session[:key] = '_new_sesssion_key'

But when I examine the cookies for the site, it's using the :key set in the config/initializers/session_store.rb still.

Any idea how I go about overriding the :key in my environment files?

Thanks, Andrew

I'm just moving the settings in config/initializers/session_store.rb to environment.rb and overriding in my other environment file for the time being which seems to work.
