    <p>To date I have been using the default MemoryStore for my Express sessions. Everything has been working great, except that all session data is lost between restarts. So I am trying to get my sessions working with Redis &amp; Connect-Redis instead.</p> <p>Here is the part of my code that concerns session config with Redis:</p> <pre><code>var express = require( "express" ), app = module.exports = express(), passport = require( "./passport" ), http = require( "http" ), RedisStore = require( "connect-redis" )( express ), redis = require( "redis" ).createClient(); app.configure(function(){ app.set( "passport", passport ); app.use( express.cookieParser()); app.use( express.session({ secret: "I can haz working sessions?", store: new RedisStore({ client: redis }) })); app.use( passport.initialize() ); app.use( passport.session() ); ... </code></pre> <p>When I run this application, there are no errors. However when I try to login, although it performs the initial login, I just keep getting bounced back to the login screen. It is as if passport cannot set a cookie, or cannot read a cookie after it has been set.</p> <p>For reference, here are the functions I use in passport to serialize / deserialize the session:</p> <pre><code>passport.serializeUser(function( user, done ) { done( null, { id : user.id, type : user.type, firstname: user.firstname, lastname: user.lastname }); }); passport.deserializeUser(function( user, done ) { done( null, user ); }); </code></pre> <p>Any advice on where I am going wrong? Do the passport serializeUser / deserializeUser need to be modified to work with redis? Or am I missing something else?</p> <p>Thanks (in advance) for your help.</p>

    1. COCheck your browser's development tools to see if a cookie is actually set (and also sent back to the server by the browser). Your code seems okay.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
