Nodejs + Passport.js + Redis: how to store sessions in Redis - node.js

Question

I've read this topic Node.js + express.js + passport.js : stay authenticated between server restart and I need exactly the same thing, but for Redis. I used such code:
var RedisStore = require('connect-redis')(express);
app.use(express.session({
secret: "my secret",
store: new RedisStore,
cookie: { secure: true, maxAge:86400000 }
}));
And it doesn't work. To connect Redis I use connect-redis module. What I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
UPD: I don't get any errors. To ensure auth processes succesfully, I added log-line, and it executes.
function(email, password, done) {
// asynchronous verification, for effect...
process.nextTick(function() {
findByEmail(email, function(err, user) {
if (!user) {
return done(null, false, {
message: 'Unknown user ' + email
});
}
if (user.password != password) {
return done(null, false, {
message: 'Invalid password'
});
}
//just logging that eveything seems fine
console.log("STATUS: User " + email + " authentificated succesfully");
return done(null, user);
})
});
}));
Log with express.logger() enabled was:
127.0.0.1 - - [Fri, 19 Oct 2012 05:49:09 GMT] "GET /ico/favicon.ico HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4"
STATUS: User admin authentificated succesfully
I do suppose that there is nothing wrong with auth/users/credentials/serializing/deserializing itself. The problem is just passport cannot set cookie to Redis and the read it.

Answer 1

I should use
cookie: { secure: false, maxAge:86400000 }

Answer 2

try this out, instead of passing express to const RedisStore pass session.
const redis = require('redis');
const session = require('express-session');
const redisStore = require('connect-redis')(session);
const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
const app = require('../app');
app.app.use(cookieParser("secret"));
const rediscli = redis.createClient();
app.app.use(session({
secret: 'secret',
store: new redisStore({
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 6379,
client: rediscli,
ttl: 260
}),
saveUninitialized: false,
resave: false
}));

Answer 3

What happens when you set the store explicitly? i.e. something along these lines in your app:
var redis = require('redis');
// This is host and port-dependent, obviously
var redisClient= redis.createClient(6379, 'localhost');
app.use(express.session({
secret: 'your secret',
/* set up your cookie how you want */
cookie: { maxAge: ... },
store: new (require('express-sessions'))({
storage: 'redis',
instance: redisClient
})
}));
