passport-twitter + restify --> "message": "OAuth authentication requires session support"

[arcmode]

I have passport-facebook working but with passport-twitter I get the following error:

{
"message": "OAuth authentication requires session support"
}

Does anyone have a working example using passport-twitter and restify.

BTW, my app is targeted as an API so I would prefer not to use sessions at all.

Thanks,

David

You have no doubt solved it now, but I had this problem and it turned out my app.get('/auth/twitter', passport.authenticate('twitter')) route was inside the exports.init function....

I have the same problem. I was able to make passport-facebook to work properly with my restify API, but passport-twitter returns "{"message":"OAuth authentication requires session support"}"

[pavelnikolov]

It turned out that that similar code works with facebook because passport-facebook uses OAuth 2.0 and passport-twitter uses OAuth 1 which requires session. So the problem is that we are not using session in our APIs.

So how do you solved that finally?
AFAIK Restify have no sessions support. Did you set up separate server or did your own sessions implementation?

I decided not to use twitter login for the moment

Still having the problem on Sep 2014

OAuth 1 requires sessions, which is what the error is stating. It is not possible to make it work securely without sessions, so closing this issue as won't fix.
