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 also had the same problem, could not find any solution on the web but i figured it out.

app.use(require("express-session")({
secret: "This is the secret line",
resave: false,
saveUninitialized: false
}));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));

express-session requirement and use should be before any other use. Try this i am sure this would work, worked for me!!
