I have the following code to authenticate through the passport-local strategy:
routes.post("/login", passport.authenticate("local"), (req, res) => {
res.json(req.user);
});
function ensureAuth(req, res, next) {
console.log(req.isAuthenticated());
if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
next();
} else {
req.flash("info", "You must be logged in to see this page");
res.redirect("/login");
}
}
routes.get("/edit", ensureAuth, (req, res) => {
res.sendStatus(200);
});
routes.post("/edit", ensureAuth, (req, res, next) => {
req.user.username = req.body.username;
req.user.bio = req.body.bio;
req.user.email = req.body.email;
req.user.save((err) => {
if (err) {
return next(err);
} else {
res.send({
success: "true",
info: "Profile updated",
});
}
});
});
I can't figure out why this is happening? Why won't it authenticate?
I can't see your passport local configuration and I send a sample for local Authentication by passport local I hope help you :) login route:
router.post('/login', loginController.process);
controller loginController.process :
async process(req, res, next) {
try {
passport.authenticate('local.login', async (err, user) => {
// User not Exist
if (!user) return this.back(req, res);
req.logIn(user, (err) => {
if (req.body.remember) {
user.setRememberToken(res);
}
return res.redirect('/');
});
})(req, res, next);
} catch (e) {
next(e);
}
}
}
passport configuration :
passport.use('local.login', new localStrategy({
usernameField: 'email',
passwordField: 'password',
passReqToCallback: true,
}, async (req, email: string, password: string, done) => {
// Select User Where email
const user = await userService.findOne({email});
// Check user Exist or Incorrect Password
if (!user || !user.comparePassword(password)) return done(req.flash('global_error', req.__('typeScript.app.passport.passport-local.wrong')), null);
done(null, user);
}));
