Passportjs authentication

[Lazar Gubezkis]

I'm using the local authentication strategy with passportjs:

passport.use(new LocalStrategy(

    function(username, password, done) {

        if (username === "myuser" && password === "mypass")

            return done(null, { name: "myuser" });

        return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect username and/or password' });

    }

));

In the case of a 401 status, I would like to be able to access my message: "Incorrect username and/or password". But all I see in the body of the response is the word "Unauthorized". How do I do that?

Thanks.

There is a detailed answer at

I didn't try it

It mentions failureFlash options, and then, the message is stored in session, you can access the message from your view template. It mentions connect-flash module, and how to manage the response directly with res.send, instead of 401
