In my web application, there is a page "interfacePage" which I want to restrict access to (server-side). So I am using a function every time the page is called to get a firebase session cookie from client cookies which is then checked for validity. If valid, interfacePage is rendered, otherwise login page is.
Code snippet
function isAuthenticated(req, res, next){
try {
var sessionCookie = req.cookies.session;
console.log(sessionCookie);
admin.auth().verifySessionCookie(sessionCookie, true)
.then(function(decodedClaims){
console.log("token verified");
next()
})
.catch(function(error){
console.log(error);
res.redirect('/users/login');
});
}catch (err)
{
console.log(err);
}
};
router.get('/interfacePage', isAuthenticated,function (req, res, next) {
//isAuthenticated is called when this get is called. If next() is called from isAuthenticated, then function (req, res, next) is called which renders page
res.render('interfacePage');
});
This code works PERFECTLY FINE locally. But once I deploy it and launch the app through firebase console, it keeps giving me Gateway Timeout error whenver I request interfacePage. I think it's probably
admin.auth().verifySessionCookie(sessionCookie, true)
taking too long to respond for some reason.
Any assitance would be appreciated.
