Using it with client-sessions instead of express-session
mortentz opened this issue · 1 comments
Is there any way to make passport-twitter work with client-sessions instead of express-session? We already got it working for passport-facebook, using a setup similar to this:
// Client-sessions
app.use(sessions({
cookieName: 'user',
secret: 'hellojared',
duration: 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 30,
activeDuration: 1000 * 60 * 5 * 2000,
cookie: {
ephemeral: false,
httpOnly: false
}
}));
The idea is that passport writes directly to "user". Works like a charm, except for passport-twitter, which seems to have some sort of built-in check for express-session, and simply gives the error:
"Error: OAuth authentication requires session support. Did you forget to use express-session middleware?"
We do have session support, just not in the form of express-session. Is there any work-around for this? The alternative is to set up a completely unique form of login for Twitter, including its very own DB (we run multiple instances, so out-of-the-box express session storage won't work).
Update: By the way, it also works with passport-google-oauth2, so it's mainly an issue with passport-twitter. Strange.
Thanks in advance.
Used "node-twitter-api" instead. Closing this.
