Laravel Sentinel setModel accessing the wrong table - laravel

Question

I am attempting to use multiple tables for my authentication based on a subdomain. Therefore, I am attempting to use Sentinel's setModel function during runtime to set the model instance.
So in my routes file I have some simple logic:
if (Request::getHost() == $url) {
Sentinel::getUserRepository()->setModel('App\Client');
} else {
Sentinel::getUserRepository()->setModel('App\User');
}
The logic being one URL uses one model and the other uses the other model. Now, when I am attempting to load the App\Client by doing a dd(Sentinel::getUserRepository()); I get a return such as:
IlluminateUserRepository {#113 ▼
#hasher: NativeHasher {#114}
#model: "App\Client"
#dispatcher: Dispatcher {#23 ▶}
#dispatcherStatus: true
}
This is great, however, when I call Sentinel::getUser();, I am left with the following output:
EloquentUser {#230 ▼
#table: "users"
#fillable: array:5 [▶]
#hidden: array:1 [▶]
#persistableKey: "user_id"
#persistableRelationship: "persistences"
#loginNames: array:1 [▶]
#connection: "mysql"
#primaryKey: "id"
#keyType: "int"
+incrementing: true
#with: []
#withCount: []
#perPage: 15
+exists: true
+wasRecentlyCreated: false
#attributes: array:12 [▶]
#original: array:12 [▶]
#casts: []
#dates: []
#dateFormat: null
#appends: []
#events: []
#observables: []
#relations: []
#touches: []
+timestamps: true
#visible: []
#guarded: array:1 [▶]
#permissionsInstance: null
}
This is referring to the App\User model rather than my App\Client model.
I don't understand why, but I can't seem to get functions of Sentinel to look at the model I am trying to reference.
Here is my Client model as a point of reference.
namespace App;
class Client extends \Cartalyst\Sentinel\Users\EloquentUser
{
/**
* The fields for sentinel to authenticate (login)
*
* #var array
*/
protected $loginNames = ['email'];
/**
* The table associated with model.
*
* #var String
*/
protected $table = 'clients';
/**
* Used for mass assignment fields.
*
* #var Array
*/
protected $fillable = ['email', 'password', 'permissions', 'last_login', 'first_name', 'last_name'];
}
I have used this guide from the Github Wiki, however as you can see Im not achieving what I am trying to do.
How can I use this approach of setting the model during runtime and use the correct model with all of sentinels commands?

Answer 1

To anyone who encounters the same issue, i flagged this as an issue in the cartalyst/sentinel repository and some feedback was provided.
The solution is to not only set the user repository but also define the model on the persistence repository:
Sentinel::getUserRepository()->setUsersModel('App\Client');
Sentinel::getPersistenceRepository()->setUsersModel('App\Client');
Through this methods such as Sentinel::getUser() will access the model specified above.
