Laravel 4.2 subdomain series.

I have a dynamic wildcard subdomain routing setup. In my app /config/session.php I have:

'session' => '.mydomain.com',
'driver' => 'database',

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I login to mydomain.com it works, I get

Auth::check()==TRUE

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I go to mysubdomain.mydomain.com

Auth::check()==FALSE

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I return to mydomain.com after visiting mysubdomain.mydomain.com

Auth::check()==FALSE

      

        
        
        
      

    

Last, my .htaccess file redirects all requests from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com.

When I check resources / cookies on chrome at mydomain.com I only see one cookie with

domain .mydomain.com

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I check the resources / cookies on mysubdomain.mydomain.com I see two cookies:

.mydomain.com 
mysubdomain.mydomain.com

      

        
        
        
      

    

Anyone have a hint for me? It cannot seem that it is visible.
