Session value missing after redirect with django python-social-auth
<p>I am working on a django project using python-social-auth to do authentication with facebook. I am running the django server on localhost and have facebook set up with my application to redirect to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000/complete/facebook/" rel="noreferrer">http://127.0.0.1:8000/complete/facebook/</a>, which begins python-social-auth's pipeline to authenticate a user. I am using postgres as my database. </p>

<p>When this method is called and tries to authenticate, it cannot find information on the session. From <a href="https://github.com/omab/python-social-auth/issues/534" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/omab/python-social-auth/issues/534</a> , I think the sessionid cookie is being overwritten. If I send the facebook redirect to a different url to load a static page without authentication, there is no error but I am also not authenticating or getting any information from facebook. </p>

<p>How would I go about not overwriting the sessionid cookie -if of course, that is the actual issue- or is there another problem that I might be missing here?</p>
