Description I'm currently trying to implement some session authentication logic in my node backend, but having issues in my development environment that I can't seem to troubleshoot.
Backend: node with express Library: cookie-session
Link to documentation: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cookie-session
Setup Running server in an EC2 instance (not secure). However pointing ngrok proxy server over https at ec2 instance.
server.js
app.use(cors({ origin: true, credentials: true }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.set('trust proxy', true);
app.use(cookieSession({
keys: ['veryimportantsecret'],
name: "session",
cookie: {
httpOnly: true,
sameSite: 'none',
secure: true
}
}))
app.use(function (req, res, next) {
console.log('req.session', req.session.testing) // logs undefined on each request
req.session.testing = (req.session.testing || 1) + 1;
next();
});
Expected Behavior Session ID to deserialize and provide last request value of testing on session property.
Current Behavior Nothing is set on session
