Laravel custom login losses Session after redirect - laravel

Question

i need a two way Login. First check database one if user exists and if not check database two.
So i build a custom Login Controller:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Lang;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class CustomLoginController extends Controller
{
public function login(Request $request)
{
if($request->email) {
$credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
// Authentication passed...
return redirect()->intended('/');
} else {
DB::setDefaultConnection('otherdb');
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
// The Login credentials will be found and user will be logged in
but after Redirect to home user isn't logged in anymore.
return redirect()->intended('/');
} else {
return redirect()->to('/login')
->withInput($request->only($credentials['email'], 'remember'))
->withErrors([
'email' => Lang::get('auth.failed'),
]);
}
}
} else {
return view('auth.login');
}
}
}
After i changed the database Connection with "DB::setDefaultConnection('otherdb');", the second login works but after Redirect to any page user isn't logged in anymore.
What am I doing wrong?
Any ideas?

Laravel trying to find a user in DB in every request. So after redirect there in no user in your default database. DB connection doesn't stored in session.
I think you need to create a custom auth guard with another user model like
class OtherUser extends Eloquent
{
protected $connection = 'otherdb';
}
and work with it.
