ensureAuthenticated returns false after successful log in

[andreivirabean]

I can't get the ensureAuthenticated to work properly :(

Problem:

• After logging in with a user I try another route (which is "protected" by ensureAuthenticated) and returns 401 :(

Don't want to spam with code here (sorry if it's not allowed to post links to other repositories, but mine is entirely based on Brad's tutorial just with Angular on the Front-end side.

Any help is highly appreciated.

The issue was that the passport.deserializeUser wasn't called, after investigation I had to set // Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) app.use(function (req, res, next) { res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true); res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', req.headers.origin); res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,PUT,POST,DELETE'); res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'X-Requested-With, X-HTTP-Method-Override, Content-Type, Accept'); if ('OPTIONS' == req.method) { res.send(200); } else { next(); } }); In my server.js (app.js) file since it was a CORS problem (client running on 4200 and server on 3000).

• I had to implement a custom HTTP Interception in my Angular app and set withCredentials = true
