Node.ACS User Sessions

Hi,

Apologies for the long post

I am trying to get a simple user session working using Node.ACS locally with TiStudio. I have created a basic Node.ACS project and added a few functions to check the ACS API.

in app.js I have added the following

var ACS = require('acs').ACS;
ACS.init('{mysecret}', '{mykey}');

I have then added

var ACS = require('acs').ACS;

to the start of the application.js file. I have modified the index method in application.js as follows

// a test to see if have actually logged in and have a valid session
    ACS.Users.query({},function (e) {
        if (e.success) {;
            console.log(e.users);
        } else {
            console.log('Error:\n' +
                ((e.error && e.message) || JSON.stringify(e)));
            }
        }, 
    req, res);
 
    // a bit of make up to show our page
    res.render('index', { title: 'Welcome to Node.ACS!'});

This all works as I would expect and I get an error as I am not logged in.

I have also added a route and additional method to hard log in a user.

{ "path": "/login", "callback": "application#login" },

function login(req,res){
    // log user in and redirect to index
    ACS.Users.login({
        login: 'administrator', 
        password: '{mypwd}'
    }, function(data) {
        res.redirect('/');
    }, req, res);
}

Again this works and if I access /login it logs me in , redirects to / and shows the list of users correctly.

I then added a Logout function and route as shown below.

{ "path": "/logout", "callback": "application#logout" }

function logout(req,res){
    // Log user out ?
    ACS.Users.logout(function (e) {
        if (e.success) {
            console.log('Success: Logged out');
        } else {
            console('Error:\n' + ((e.error && e.message) || JSON.stringify(e)));
        }
        res.redirect('/');
    }, req,res);    
}

And although this tells me it worked OK, on redirect to / I still see the user list, which means that the session was not removed.

Q. Does this mean Logout in Node.ACS has no meaning ? I would have thought that it should remove the Session/Cookie .

I have also come across a problem with the showMe function. I recoded the index method as shown below.

// a test to see if have actually logged in and have a valid session
    ACS.Users.showMe(function (e) {
        if (e.success) {;
            console.log(e.users);
        } else {
            console.log('Error:\n' +
                ((e.error && e.message) || JSON.stringify(e)));
            }
        }, 
    req, res);
 
    // a bit of make up to show our page
    res.render('index', { title: 'Welcome to Node.ACS!'});

This time when I run the app and login etc. When I redirect to / I always get the following error:

Error: You need to sign in or sign up before continuing.

Q. Is there a problem with showMe, or is it something I am doing ? - it seems to take no notice of the session created during login.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,

Steve.
