passport's req.isAuthenticated always returning false, even when I hardcode done(null, true)

Question

I\'m trying to get my Passport local strategy working.

I\'ve got this middleware set up:

passport.use(new LocalStrategy(function(username, password,         


        

Answer 1

My problem was that i set cookie.secure to true even if data was not over https.

app.use(require('express-session')({
    secret: process.env.sessionSecret,
    cookie: {
        maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 // 1 week
    },
    store: store,
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: false,
    cookie: { secure: false } // Remember to set this
}));

Remember to set cookies to false if you're not using https

cookie: { secure: false } // Set to false

Also if you do believe you have https remember to trust the proxy

app.set('trust proxy', 1) // trust first proxy
