The following code is a section of an app developed by Node.js + Express + Passport.js. A valid user gets redirected to /profile
url (successRedirect), however the req.isAuthenticated
returns false and also the req.user
is undefined
. I couldn't figure out what might be the cause:
app.post('/login',
passport.authenticate('local', {
successRedirect: '/profile',// <-- a valid user gets redirected to `/profile`
failureRedirect: '/',
failureFlash: true
})
);
app.get('/profile',function(req,res){
console.log('req.user: \n'+req.user)
console.log('req.isAuthenticated(): '+req.isAuthenticated()) // <-- However, the `req.isAuthenticated()` returns false
console.log('req.isAuthenticated: '+req.isAuthenticated)
res.render('profile.ejs',{
/*username: req.user.username*/ // <-- req.user is undefined
});
})
