I am new to express and I am trying to create session when user logs in to my app.I am using passport for authentication. To login user I am creating basic strategy and on success of basic strategy I am creating a JWT token which I am storing at client side in cookie and I use JWT strategy for subsequent requests.
But I notice that express-session is creating one session when I am logging in which has Basic header and another session for subsequent calls which has JWT header.
Here is my code where I am saving session on login
signin = function(req, res, next) {
passport.authenticate('basic', function(err, user, info) {
if (err) { return next(err) }
if (!user) {
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'message' });
}
var token = jwt.encode({ user: user}, config.db.secret);
res.cookie('token', token, { maxAge: 900000, httpOnly: true, path: '\/', Secure: true });
res.status(200).json({ success: true, firstName: user.firstName });
delete user.password;
req.session.user = user;
req.session.save();
})(req, res, next);
};
But when I debug this code it shows one sessionID in req.sessionID and it show different sessionID in req.sessionID in the following code which as JWT authentication
listProducts = function(req, res) {
debugger;
//here req.session.user is undefined which I have saved at login. and sessionID is also different
res.json({ demo: 'response' });
};
I am expecting it to be same sessionID throughout the life cycle till user logs out of my app. Why is this exactly happening? What is the solution to it?
