    <p>I'm using passportjs with a middleware below. It is suppose to check if the user is login when he requests certain things. If he is not signed in, he should be redirected to the login page. </p> <p>I have a request route as follows: </p> <pre><code>app.put('/fantasyteams/:fantasyTeamId', auth.requiresLogin, fantasyteams.update); </code></pre> <p>This route will be called when the user tries to update a resource called Fantasy Team in the website</p> <p>auth.requiresLogin is a middleware as follows:</p> <pre><code>exports.requiresLogin = function (req, res, next) { if (req.isAuthenticated()) { return next() } return res.redirect("/signin"); }; </code></pre> <p>After logging in my user, I simulated session expiry by deleting the session cookie. Thereafter thru the website I made a PUT '/fantasyteams/123' request to update fantasy team number 123. </p> <p>fantasyteams.update is simply a mongodb / mongoose save operation:</p> <pre><code>exports.update = function(req, res){ var fantasyteam = req.fantasyteam; fantasyteam = _.extend(fantasyteam, req.body); fantasyteam.save(function(err){ res.jsonp(fantasyteam); }); }; </code></pre> <p>As expected, the route handler (app.put ... ) above caught the request, pass it to the auth.requiresLogin middleware to check if the user is logged in. So it turns out the user isn't logged in since I deleted his session cookie. res.redirect is called as expected. However, the website doesn't redirect to the sign in page. I see this in the node.js command logs:</p> <pre><code>PUT /signin 404 328ms </code></pre> <p>What did I do wrong?</p>

    1. COthis redirecting is taking place in my middleware, so the answer you supplied does not apply to my scenario.

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.
