用户使用护照注册后登录

Question

After a user signs up, I'd like them to automatically be logged in. I read online to use req.login(), but it doesn't seem to be working. The user is added to the database, but aren't logged in. Can someone point me the right direction?

        if(type == 'student'){
            User.saveStudent(newUser, newStudent, function(err, user){
                console.log('Student saved');
                req.login(newUser, function(err) {
                    if (err) {
                        console.log(err);
                    }
                })
            })
        } else {
            User.saveInstructor(newUser, newInstructor, function(err, user){
                console.log('Instructor saved');
                req.login(newUser, function(err) {
                    if (err) {
                        console.log(err);
                    }
                });
            })
        }

        res.redirect('/classes');
    }
});

module.exports = router;

OH, I see what's happening. You're doing a res.redirect() outside the callback where you save the user. It's probably redirecting prior to the login cookie being set.

Move the res.redirect() into the res.login() callback and you should be good.
