This questions has been asked in all kinds of ways but I am not getting an exact answer for my issue.
Router 1
router.post('/user', (req, res, next) => {
passport.authenticate('local', function(err, user, info) {
if (err) {
return next(err);
}
if (!user) {
return res.send(info);
}
req.logIn(user, function(err) {
if (err) {
return next(err);
}
console.log(req.isAuthenticated()) //return true
return res.redirect('/myprofile/' + user.username);
});
})(req, res, next);
});
The redirected URL will make a call in a different router.
router.get('/:username', (req, res) => {
console.log(req.isAuthenticated()) // return false
UserDetails.findOne({
username: req.params.username
}, (err, data) => {
if(err) {
res.status(400).send('Couldnt fetch details'); //define errs.
} {
res.render('dashboard/dash', {
firstname: data.firstname,
lastname: data.lastname
});
}
})
});
The value of isAuthenticated changes.
What possibly am I missing?

app.use(session({

cookie: { secure: true }

//Passsport Middleware
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.get('*', function(req, res, next){
res.locals.user = req.user || null;
next();
});
