How retrieve session store from inside ActionCable::Connection::Base

Question

From action cable documentation I read this example for setting current_user:

module ApplicationCable
  class Connection < ActionCable::Connection::Base
    identified_by :current_user

  def connect
    self.current_user = find_verified_user
  end

  private
    def find_verified_user
      if verified_user = User.find_by(id: cookies.signed[:user_id])
        verified_user
      else
        reject_unauthorized_connection
      end
    end
  end
end

I don't have user_id cookie set because authentication is made for a cas server, and it store session in Active Record. How tell to Connection class the current user?

You need to force the session to load. Check this link here (worked for me): How force that session is loaded?
