Can't use local authentication with 2.0.0-alpha2

[wbprice]

Following this guide, I was unable to authenticate passing identifier and password to POST /auth/local. After downgrading sails-auth to 1.3.1, everything worked as expected.

Hi Raul. I've spoken about this with both of the maintainers of sails-auth pretty extensively (one of whom wrote the article), so they're aware of the details. However:

Replication Steps

• Follow setup steps 1 and 2 in this sails-permisssions guide.
• POST /auth/local/, passing { identifier: admin, password: admin1234 } in the body. I used Postman to do this.
• Response from POST is a 500 error. Sails console gives a gnarly stack trace starting with:

error: Sending 500 ("Server Error") response: 
 Error: Unknown authentication strategy "local"
    at attempt (/Users/blaine/Documents/reviews/node_modules/sails-permissions/node_modules/sails-auth/node_modules/passport/lib/middleware/authenticate.js:166:37)

As noted above, reverting to an earlier version of sails-auth fixes the issue. Above POST request behaves as expected.

I confirm this issue with sails-auth@2.0.0

I meet this problem, resolved by following:

change your config/bootstrap.js to load your Passport providers on startup by adding the following line: sails.services.passport.loadStrategies();
