Auth::check() return false Laravel 5.2

Question

I am facing an issue with Auth, I have admin middleware and handle function inside, but Auth::check always return false. Seems like user session doesn't exist.

I thought the problem was in permissions for /storage and /bootstrap/cache, but when I set up 777 for these folders the problem still the same. Session folder is not empty.

I have tried to clear cache.

My Admin Middleware:

public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
    //check the proper role
    if (Auth::check() && Auth::user()->isAdmin()) {
        return $next($request);
    }
    else {
        return response()->view('auth.forbidden')->header('Content-Type', 'text/html');
    }
}

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Are you using your own authentication system or Laravel's one ? — Benjamin Brasseur, Aug 01 '17 at 06:51
Custom Laravel Auth, I just added my Admin middleware. On the local server, everything works well. This problem only on the production server. — zm_fans, Aug 01 '17 at 06:53
Route::auth(); , all routes under "web" middleware group. And Admin routes have 'admin' middleware. Route::group(array('prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware' => 'web'), function() { Route::get('/',[ 'uses' => 'Back\AdminController@index', 'as' => 'admin.index', 'middleware' => 'admin' ]); }); — zm_fans, Aug 01 '17 at 07:03

I have already checked this answer, all my routes under "web" middleware and my Kernel.php looks the same. — zm_fans, Aug 01 '17 at 07:15

alternatively you can use something like

//check the proper role
    $user = $request->user();
    if ($user && $user->isAdmin()) {
        return $next($request);
    }
    else {
        return response()->view('auth.forbidden')->header('Content-Type', 'text/html');
    }

will work is user is logged in and isAdmin
