Sails.js + Passport.js authentication through websockets

Question

When I use Sails.js with Passport.js, the isAuthenticated method does not exist on the req object when requested through websocket.

Could anyone tell me why this hap

Answer 1

Another way to extend socket.io req with the passport defined methods login, logout, ... is to rewrite the policy or middleware as below

module.exports = (req, res, next) ->
    if req.isSocket
        req = _.extend req, _.pick(require('http').IncomingMessage.prototype, 'login', 'logIn', 'logout', 'logOut', 'isAuthenticated', 'isUnauthenticated')
    middleware = passport.authenticate('bearer', { session: false })
    middleware(req, res, next)
