title: Forms Authentcation over Sub Domain ASP.NET
body: <p>This question is similar to this: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/631542/asp-net-profile-across-sub-domains">Asp.net Profile Across Sub-Domain</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm basically wondering if a user logs in through "www.yourdomain.com", is it possible for "subdomain.yourdomain.com" to also recognize them as logged in by checking their AuthCookie?</p>
  
  <p>The referenced question's answer is to put:  <code>domain="yourdomain.com"</code> within your web.config.</p>
  
  <p>My question is how do you set this up to work locally when your domain is localhost?  Do you just take domain out on your local/dev environment?</p>
  
  <p>Any help with this would be much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
