I am using passport for authentication and session handling. Everything works fine so far. I implemented a Sign in form to add new users to the app. After a user is added I would like to log him/her in automatically.
What is the best way to achieve this - should I redirect to /login with the user credentials or is there another/better way(call serializeUser) to do that?
So far I think I did not really understand the way the done function (in serializeUser and LocalStrategy) is working or what it is doing ...
Here is my code:
passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
done(null, user._id);
});
passport.deserializeUser(function(id, done) {
authProvider.findUserById('users', id, function (err, user) {
done(err, user);
});
});
passport.use(new LocalStrategy( function(email, password, done) {
authProvider.getUserByEmail('users', email, function(error, user){
if(error) { return done(error); }
if (!user) { return done(null, false, { message: 'Unknown user ' + email });}
if (user.password != password) { return done(null, false);}
return done(null, user);
});
}
));
app.post('/login',
passport.authenticate('local', { failureRedirect: '/login'}),
function(req, res) { res.redirect('/');});
app.post('/sign', function(req, res){
authProvider.saveUser(...do stuff), function(error, user){
if(error){
res.redirect('/sign');
} else {
res.redirect('/');
}
});
});
Does someone know how to do this?
