Authentication error
Hi,
I have an Angular frontend and an Express backend app and use the ExpressJS SDK in my backend.
The authentication process flow (angular hrefs to backend/login -> user enters credentials -> redirected back to redirect_url and then back to site URL) works fine.
When working locally on my own machine, I use proxy.conf to send requests from my frontend to the backend and it works fine (I have a custom middleware that checks if user is authenticated using
const isAuth = client.isAuthenticated()).
When trying to work remotely (I have a development environment in AWS), the middleware fails (isAuth is false). Since I have no access to see which error cause this from the Typescript SDK's getToken() (I'm using the authentication code flow), I don't know how to debug this or why this is even happening.2 Replies
HI @Ricer , can you see the cookies being used on the requests?
Hey @Daniel_Kinde,
I didn't check, but it was solved when I added
{ withCredentials: true } to the HTTP requests
