Re: [Mailman-Developers] Set cookies for global authentication
Mark, Did you look at http://wiki.list.org/x/vgAM? The very first paragraph says in part Many things that people have been wanting for years will be addressed, most notably a unified user database I hadn't seen that no. Thanks for pointing it out. Until Mailman 3 is released, I'm going to look at the approach Adam is using. Thanks Adam.

I've noticed that using administrative credentials created a cookie named 'site' whereas a normal login creates a cookie identifying the users email address and the individual list.
