Calling passport.authenticate inside a request handler not working

[avivek]

Hi,

app.post('/login',passport.authenticate('login',{
    successRedirect: '/HTML/Private/1657708.jpg',
    failureRedirect: '/HTML/Guest/signup.html'
  });
});

While the above code works without any issues and the user is being logged in the below code just hangs without providing any result. Can you let me know if anything is wrong with the approach.

app.post('/login',function(req,res,next){
    passport.authenticate('login',{
    successRedirect: '/HTML/Private/1657708.jpg',
    failureRedirect: '/HTML/Guest/signup.html'
  });
});

Sorry for the confusion.
In order for it to execute I must execute the passport.authenticate function.
app.post('/login',function(req,res,next){
passport.authenticate('login',{
successRedirect: '/HTML/Private/1657708.jpg',
failureRedirect: '/HTML/Guest/signup.html'
})(req,res,next);
});
