Devise + Subdomain - Redirect user for sign_in

I am using devise gem in a rails application with multiple subdomains. Each subdomain is handled by respective controller, which look like this:

class Subdomain1Controller < ApplicationController
  before_filter :authenticate_user!
  def index
  end
end

With above controller implementation, Devise always keep subdomain while redirecting user to login page. In above case, Devise redirect user to http://subdomain1.acmesite/users/sign_in instead of a common sign_in Url.

This leads to having multiple sign_in urls for each sub-domains.

http://subdomain1.acmesite/users/sign_in
http://subdomain2.acmesite/users/sign_in
http://subdomain3.acmesite/users/sign_in

I am wondering if it's possible to override devise method to exclude subdomain part from the url and yet keeping the previous page url information. More preciously, I wants Devise to redirect user to a specific Url (like: http://acmesite/users/sign_in) irrespective of subdomain and after successful authentication, Devise should return user back to the caller subdomain+page.

You need to write a custom FailureApp which kicks in when the user is unauthenticated.

From How To: Redirect to a specific page when the user can not be authenticated

class CustomFailure < Devise::FailureApp
  def redirect_url
    #return super unless [:worker, :employer, :user].include?(scope) #make it specific to a scope
     new_user_session_url(:subdomain => 'secure')
  end

  # You need to override respond to eliminate recall
  def respond
    if http_auth?
      http_auth
    else
      redirect
    end
  end
end

And add the following in config/initializers/devise.rb:

config.warden do |manager|
  manager.failure_app = CustomFailure
end

If you’re getting an uninitialized constant CustomFailure error, and you’ve put the CustomFailure class under your /lib directory, make sure to autoload your lib files in your application.rb file, like below

config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/lib)

I droped Devise gem from my project and now using Sorcery instead.

Sorcery provide me complete control over controller and view, fully comply with my project requirements. With six months running on production after this transition, I am happy with Sorcery gem.
