express-session

I have a Passport-using application with a GraphQL endpoint and a /logout endpoint. For some reason when I called request.isAuthenticated() from inside the GraphQL endpoint I got back true , but when I made the same exact call from inside the /logout endpoint I got back false . So, I did a bit of logging (of request.session.id ) and it turns out that I somehow wound up with two sessions. Stranger still, the session used by my GraphQL endpoint is persistent: if I restart the server it keeps the same ID, while the one in /logout keeps changing. I think that what's happening is that the

So I'm using express-session with a mongo store like so: app.use(session({ secret: 'some secret here', saveUninitialized: false, resave: false, store: new MongoStore({ url: 'http://someurlhere' }) })); I have some login middleware, which after a successful login I want to then set the session cookie expiry time. So I am testing with a 10 second expiry time right now using req.session.cookie.expires = new Date(Date.now() + 10000); I want the session expiry to reset for each subsequent request. Currently after 10 seconds have elapsed, no matter how many requests I have made after logging in, the

I need to know if my user is connected or not. For that I want to read the cookies that I set in the server side with express-session : app.use(session({ secret: 'crypted key', resave: false, saveUninitialized: true, cookie: { secure: false } // Put true if https })) app.post('/connect_user', (req, res) => { req.session.cookie.username = req.body.username findUserData('username', req.body.username, req, (userData) => { req.session.cookie.id = userData.id req.session.cookie.username = userData.username res.redirect('/profil') }) }) I tried to use react-cookie but it doesn't work however I copy

I have the following code: var express = require('express'); var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser'); var http = require('http') var app = express(); app.use(cookieParser()); var session = require('express-session'); app.use(session({ resave: false, saveUninitialized: true, secret: 'sdlfjljrowuroweu', cookie: { secure: true } })); app.get('/test', test); function test(req, res) { var sess = req.session; console.log('before', sess); if (sess.views) { sess.views++ req.session.save(); res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/html') res.write('<p>views: ' + sess.views + '</p>') res.write('<p

When not using secure cookie true setting, my app user login works fine. When I enable secure cookies, the login appears to go through fine, but it seems the cookie is not saved and the user is not logged in. In other words, this works: app = express(); app.use(session({ secret: 'secret code', store: sessionStore, resave: false, saveUninitialized: false, cookie: { secure: false, maxAge: 5184000000 // 60 days } })); This does not work (user isn't able to log in): app = express(); app.set('trust proxy'); app.use(session({ secret: config.cookieSecret, store: sessionStore, resave: false,
