@jaredhanson @halrobertson any chance you guys could make a quick addition as to how you would authenticate against subsequent endpoints?

I have the login working and the request token (using passport-google), however after the initial authentication I am not sure how to check for a user any subsequent endpoint requests. from what I have read I was expecting a user object to be available in the req, however this doesn't seem to be the case. Not sure if I've missed something.

Being a REST service I obviously don't want to use sessions, so should I just be calling..

server.get('/my/path', passport.authenticate('facebook', { session: false }), function() {
    /* do some stuff */
})

@thatguynamedandy the same happened to me, and I had to be explicit in the property that will hold the user object, due to some issue with passport.js:

server.get('/my/path', passport.authenticate('facebook', { session: false, assignedProperty:'user' }), function() {
    /* do some stuff */
})

With that change everything worked ok ^^

Doing this just keeps redirecting me to log in each time.
