passport’s req.isAuthenticated always returning false, even when I hardcode done(null, true)

by

I had a similar issue. Could be due to the express-session middleware needed for passport. Fixed it by using middlewares in the following order: (Express 4)

var session = require('express-session');

// required for passport session
app.use(session({
  secret: 'secrettexthere',
  saveUninitialized: true,
  resave: true,
  // using store session on MongoDB using express-session + connect
  store: new MongoStore({
    url: config.urlMongo,
    collection: 'sessions'
  })
}));

// Init passport authentication 
app.use(passport.initialize());
// persistent login sessions 
app.use(passport.session());
