How to update req.user session object set by passportjs?

Question

I\'m trying to do this since a lot of days but all my tests fails...

Users on my platform connect them by using passportjs strategies (paypal, facebook, google...).<

Answer 1

This works and persists for me:

req.session.passport.user.nickname = 'mynewnickname'

Are you employing caching on your routes that might need busting before refresh?

(passport serialize is the same)

passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) { done(null, user); });
passport.deserializeUser(function(obj, done) { done(null, obj); });
