I am making a web app with AgularJS as my front-end and Sails(NodeJS + Express) as my backend. I am using passport (passport-local) for authentication and it all seemed to work great until I tested it in safari. I noticed that the sessions would always return null.
I was using passport session for authorization and I couldn't fetch the session variable using req.session.passport since it was empty. I figured out that I had cookies disabled in Safari. This would break my app's authorization. Is there a way to have session management which would work even if cookies are disabled in a browser?
An alternative to cookies is tokens.
One popular implementation of tokens is JSON Web Tokens (JWT). There is a module for using them with Express called express-jwt and a blog post showing how to use it. For integration with Passport, you may use this SO answer as a guide.
