How to generate session after user login in express-session? - mysql

Question

I am using express.js , express-mysql-session and passport.js. The express session middleware is creating session for the static file requests such as login page which is creating another entry in the session table.
I have moved the static middleware before the express session middleware. But when I make a login request after moving the static middleware before the session middleware the passport throws an error "passport.initialize middlware not in use".
I guessing that this might be happening because there is no "connect.sid" cookie in the request!
That's how my configure function looks like
app.configure(function () {
app.set('mode', process.argv[2] || 'local');
app.set('port', config.port || 8080);
app.use(express.favicon(__dirname + '/public/favicon.ico'));
app.use(express.logger('dev'));
app.use(express.methodOverride());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded());
// this is a route handler for serving public file incase user doesn't have session
app.get("/*", policies.publicRoute.handleRoute());
app.use(busboy({
limits: {
fileSize: maxFileSize,
files : 1
}
}));
//create session store
var sessionStore = new SessionStore({}, connection);
// required for passport
app.use(express.session({
secret: 'mySecret',
cookie: { maxAge : myNumber },
store: sessionStore,
resave: true,
saveUninitialized: true
}));
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
});
