How to use passport.socketio in sails with passport

Question

I received the following errors when I use socketio after user login. I found passport-socketio that perhaps solve this problem, but I do not know how integrates it to sails.js. Do you know any code example? Thinks

Answer 1

There are a couple methods outlined here: Sails.js + Passport.js authentication through websockets

This one worked for me... https://stackoverflow.com/a/18343226/1644659

Answer 2

This is because you implemented passport using expressMiddleware. You need to use sails policies in order to get passport to work with sockets.
