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

Resolved in my case, I also faced the same problem, but resolved just by reordering the code as mentioned below:

//--------------------------------

previous code :

app.use(flash())
app.use(session({
    secret: 'somesecret',
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: false
}))
// using the custom middleware for storing variable in response
app.use((req, res, next) => {
    res.locals.isAuthenticated = req.isAuthenticated()
    next()
})
app.use(passport.initialize())
app.use(passport.session())

//--------------------------------

Refactored code : (which fixed the problem):

app.use(flash())
app.use(session({
    secret: 'somesecret',
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: false
}))
app.use(passport.initialize())
app.use(passport.session())

// using the custom middleware for storing variable in response
app.use((req, res, next) => {
    res.locals.isAuthenticated = req.isAuthenticated()
    next()
})

//--------------------------------
