node.js - Auth/Session not working on one page in Sails with Passport -

i have used passport manage authentication in sails. working bar 1 odd issue. if check user in order modify nav bar

<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">             {{#if user}}                 <li>{{ user.username }}</li>                 <li><a href="/logout">logout</a></li>                 user!             {{else}}                 <li><a href="/login">login</a></li>             {{/if}}         </ul> 

the log in , go / there nothing there. when go /login or /logout, both of use same template , share code above, both conditions being met.

any ideas?

ok, issue policies in sails applied controllers, not views.

sails docs

the solution create pages controller, route method home page view , apply following policy it. passes passport doesn't restrict access. pagecontroller.js

    module.exports = {     home: function (req, res) {         res.view();     } }; 

policies.js

    '*': ['passport'],    pagecontroller: {     '*': ['passport', true]   }
