Display passport.js authentication error message in view

javascript node.js express sails.js passport.js

At first glance, looks like sails is using Express 3.0. Per the Passport docs (http://passportjs.org/docs), you will need to explicitly add middleware to support flash (they recommend https://github.com/jaredhanson/connect-flash).

javascript node.js express sails.js passport.js

Not a passport expert here, but according to this all you need to do is to re-render the login view with req.flash('error'):

res.render("login", {error: req.flash("error")});

And then in the handlebars template, display the error:

{{ error }}

javascript node.js express sails.js passport.js

Don't know if this might help you, Brad.

I think in your serializeUser call you need it to be user[0].id, but I've moved away from Passport recently, so I could be wrong.
