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

I had the same issue by forgetting to add

request.login()

on

app.post('/login', 
    function(request, response, next) {
        console.log(request.session)
        passport.authenticate('login', 
        function(err, user, info) {
            if(!user){ response.send(info.message);}
            else{

                request.login(user, function(error) {
                    if (error) return next(error);
                    console.log("Request Login supossedly successful.");
                    return response.send('Login successful');
                });
                //response.send('Login successful');
            }

        })(request, response, next);
    }
);

Hopefully that might help for others that ended up here same reason as I did.
