Hi,
I’ve set up the discourse platform using the one-click installation over at digital ocean and noticed that I am able to login as two different users within the same browser session.
I.e. When I go to my site like so: `www.example.com` and I login, then open up another tab and browse to my site via: `example.com`, it shows me as logged out and allows me to login with another account.
So, effectively, can login with two different accounts on the same browser, made distinct by whether I prefix with the www or not.
Is this normal behavior? I must admit, I don’t remember coming across this kind of thing on any other website. Is there a setting that I have not got configured properly?
Thanks guys

Your site is available on two domains, you need to redirect `domain.com` to `www.domain.com` via your DNS settings. It is a very bad idea to allow a site to be accessible via two different names.
