ctx.req object inside loopback beforeRemote function not authenticated about loopback-component-passport HOT 6 CLOSED

I believe I just solved the issue ...

In server.js the examples call the loopback 'boot' functions before passport is initialized, if you change the order to the following, the requests inside loopback are also authenticated:

passportConfigurator.init();

boot(app, __dirname);
app.use(loopback.cookieParser(app.get('cookieSecret')));

I also had to move the cookieParser midleware with the boot function to make this work.

Another addition:
Changing the initialization order enabled me to access the user object from inside loopback, but it is not caught, when setting up acl rules for the models

Is your app based on https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-example-passport? If so, we should consider to upgrade the app using phase to order the middleware as described http://docs.strongloop.com/display/LB/Defining+middleware.

Yes we took that example as a blueprint
