Devise Not Storing User Session Info - ruby-on-rails

I'm building an app with Rails 4.1.4, Mongoid 4.0.0 and Devise 3.3.0 (Warden 1.2.3) for authentication.
Everything about authentication with Devise is working well (sign up, sign in, confirmation, password recovery, etc.). The issue I'm having is that when I sign in, although it says that sign in was successful, and in the database the sign_in_count increases and last_sign_in_at updates, the user session is not being stored in the cookies, namely the helpers user_signed_in?, user_session, current_user, etc. are not working.
I actually have two distinct models that work with authentication, one named Customer and one named Admin. So my helpers are customer_* or *_customer, and admin_* or *_admin respectively. None of them working.
These are my models...

# ==> Configuration for :encryptable
# Allow you to use another encryption algorithm besides bcrypt (default). You can use
# :sha1, :sha512 or encryptors from others authentication tools as :clearance_sha1,
# :authlogic_sha512 (then you should set stretches above to 20 for default behavior)
# and :restful_authentication_sha1 (then you should set stretches to 10, and copy
# REST_AUTH_SITE_KEY to pepper).
#
# Require the `devise-encryptable` gem when using anything other than bcrypt
# config.encryptor = :sha512
# ==> Scopes configuration
# Turn scoped views on. Before rendering "sessions/new", it will first check for
# "users/sessions/new". It's turned off by default because it's slower if you
# are using only default views.

# Configure the default scope given to Warden. By default it's the first
# devise role declared in your routes (usually :user).

# Set this configuration to false if you want /users/sign_out to sign out
# only the current scope. By default, Devise signs out all scopes.
# config.sign_out_all_scopes = true
# ==> Navigation configuration
# Lists the formats that should be treated as navigational. Formats like
# :html, should redirect to the sign in page when the user does not have
# access, but formats like :xml or :json, should return 401.
#
# If you have any extra navigational formats, like :iphone or :mobile, you
# should add them to the navigational formats lists.
#
# The "*/*" below is required to match Internet Explorer requests.
config.navigational_formats = ['*/*', :html]
# The default HTTP method used to sign out a resource. Default is :delete.
config.sign_out_via = :delete
# ==> OmniAuth
# Add a new OmniAuth provider. Check the wiki for more information on setting
# up on your models and hooks.
# config.omniauth :github, 'APP_ID', 'APP_SECRET', scope: 'user,public_repo'
# ==> Warden configuration
# If you want to use other strategies, that are not supported by Devise, or
# change the failure app, you can configure them inside the config.warden block.
#
# config.warden do |manager|
# manager.intercept_401 = false
# manager.default_strategies(scope: :user).unshift :some_external_strategy
# end
# ==> Mountable engine configurations
# When using Devise inside an engine, let's call it `MyEngine`, and this engine
# is mountable, there are some extra configurations to be taken into account.
# The following options are available, assuming the engine is mounted as:
#
# mount MyEngine, at: '/my_engine'
#
# The router that invoked `devise_for`, in the example above, would be:
# config.router_name = :my_engine
#
# When using omniauth, Devise cannot automatically set Omniauth path,
# so you need to do it manually. For the users scope, it would be:
# config.omniauth_path_prefix = '/my_engine/users/auth'
end
Any hint to fix this problem?. Would really appreciate it!. Best,
UPDATE!!!
I'm adding here some more code for further information...
application_controller.rb
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
# Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
# For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
protect_from_forgery with: :exception
before_action :set_locale
before_filter :authenticate_customer!
before_filter :authenticate_admin!
# Set locale according to locale parameter.
def set_locale
I18n.locale = params[:locale] || I18n.default_locale
end
# Set actual locale value to be the default locale parameter.
def default_url_options(options={})
{ locale: I18n.locale }
end
# Configure permitted parameters for devise.
protected
def devise_parameter_sanitizer
if resource_class == Customer
Customer::ParameterSanitizer.new(Customer, :customer, params)
else
super # Use the default one
end
end
end
welcome_controller.rb (my one and only controller for now)
class WelcomeController < ApplicationController
skip_before_action :authenticate_customer!
skip_before_action :authenticate_admin!
before_filter :require_admin_not_signed_in
before_filter :require_customer_not_signed_in
def home
end
private
# Add filter to skip home page if customer is already signed in.
def require_customer_not_signed_in
unless not customer_signed_in?
redirect_to member_dashboard_path
end
end
# Add filter to skip home page if admin is already signed in.
def require_admin_not_signed_in
unless not admin_signed_in?
redirect_to admin_dashboard_path
end
end
end

SOLVED!!!
In my models I was adding a fix for a session serializing problem in Devise. This fix was causing the issue. This is the fix I'm talking about:
.
.
.
# Devise serializing problem fix.
class << self
def serialize_from_session(key,salt)
record = to_adapter.get(key[0].to_param)
record if record && record.authenticatable_salt == salt
end
end
.
.
.
I've changed that to this:
.
.
.
# Devise serializing problem fix.
class << self
def serialize_from_session(key, salt)
record = to_adapter.get(key[0]["$oid"])
record if record && record.authenticatable_salt == salt
end
end
.
.
.
And now it all works!.
Regards,

Your settings look correct and the issue isn't in your modules else sign in etc would not be working.
I would personally go through the following:
Ensure before_filter :authenticate_< scope >! is on your ApplicationController (swap out scope for user etc). Then use a skip_before_filter on the controllers you dont want protected
Ensure you are not attempting to access current_user etc from a controller action that is skipping the authenticate_user filter
All correct? Try patching your own SessionController if you havnt already ie. Devise::SessionsController and manually overwrite methods and test with trial and error.
Would i be able to see your Application and session controllers?

I was facing a similar problem with Devise and Mongoid.
I came to another solution, which also improves the session object by keeping it simple (it will store a string instead of BSON::Object)[1]
class User
# ...
# Serialize string instead of BSON
def self.serialize_into_session(record)
[record.to_key.map(&:to_s), record.authenticatable_salt]
end
# Serialize string instead of BSON
def self.serialize_into_cookie(record)
[record.to_key.map(&:to_s), record.rememberable_value]
end
# ...
end
Be aware of "serialize into cookie" because it is as important as serialize_into_session if you are using the remember me feature

Devise Scope login to subdomain

Hi I am trying to have Devise scope to a subdomain(:account) upon login. I am using apartment for multitenancy I have followed this tutorial https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/How-to:-Scope-login-to-subdomain

I found that by changing account to subdomain that I was able to get past this error.
I had missed the part in the documentation that states
"If you are using column name other than subdomain to scope login to
subdomain, you may have to use authentication_keys. For example, if
you have subdomains table and are using subdomain_id on your Devise
model to scope User, you will have to add authentication_keys:
[:email, :subdomain_id] instead of request_keys: [:subdomain_id] on
user.rb. This is because request_keys honors only predefined keys such
as :subdomain."
As soon as I changed all relations from account to subdomain I moved on to the following error
ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in Devise::SessionsController#create
PG::UndefinedTable: ERROR: relation "users" does not exist LINE 1:
SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."email" = $1 AN... ^ :
SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."email" = $1 AND
"users"."subdomain" = $2 ORDER BY "users"."id" ASC LIMIT $3
This is a new error, so I will close this out.

Rails 5 and Devise: How I disable sessions on a Token Based Strategy without Altering the default one

I have a Rails 5 app using 2 authentication strategies one using a token based authentication and the default session based one.
I am trying to disable session saving when I am firing the token authentication. Since when I am authenticating the user with a JWT it saves the session and this one should be stateless. I still need to use the default one for the username / email devise use case.

def claims
strategy, token = request.headers['Authorization'].split(' ')
return nil if (strategy || '').downcase != 'bearer'
JWTWrapper.decode(token) rescue nil
end
end
end
end
I solved my own question, since what Devise offer are a collection of strategies config.skip_session_storage = [:http_auth, :jwt] is not working what I needed to do was add an store? method in the strategy like this:
module Devise
module Strategies
class JsonWebToken < Base
def valid?
request.headers['Authorization'].present?
end
def authenticate!
return fail! unless claims
return fail! unless claims.has_key?('id')
success! User.find_by_id claims['id']
end
def store?
false
end
protected ######################## PROTECTED #############################
def claims
strategy, token = request.headers['Authorization'].split(' ')
return nil if (strategy || '').downcase != 'bearer'
JWTWrapper.decode(token) rescue fail!
end
end
end
end
when the store? method returns false the user is not saved on the session store.

Random Devise Logout issue

I have a Rails 4 Ecommerce app, and I'm using Devise for user authentication.
I'm also using ActiveAdmin, which uses Devise for it's authentication as well.
The issue I'm running into is that I'm getting logged out at random times. It almost seems like the session is being clobbered, but the session cookie stays the same. I tried removing the Devise skip_session_storage option, but no dice.
I'm storing sessions in memcached using :dalli_store.

:recoverable, :validatable

has_many :sales, as: :saleable
has_many :orders
# Rest removed for brevity
end
end
Any pointers? I've spent all day googling and digging into Devise and Warden's source code, to no avail.
We never did figure out what exactly was the issue, but I'm guessing memcached was sweeping up the sessions for some reason.
We switched to storing sessions in the DB, and we haven't seen this issue since.
Few things:
What version of ActiveAdmin are you using?
What does the :async devise option do?
What is the source of your Warden ::FailureApp?
Are you sure that it is actually Devise logging you out and not ActiveAdmin not authorizing you for an action via CanCan, or your own custom :authorization_adapter? Seems unlikely that this would be intermittent, but would be easy to check by configuring AA to use your own method in an ApplicationController so you can inspect the exception, current user and all that via Pry when it does occur.

Rails: NameError in Devise::SessionsController#create

I just created a new user for my admin controller in the rails console. I restart my app, enter my credentials and then I get the following message:
NameError in Devise::SessionsController#create
undefined local variable or method `locked_at' for #<Admin:0x4f289e8>

Not entirely sure why it's doing it, from what I can gather it's having issues creating a new session for my app, but I don't know how I would fix this.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Update!!
Here is my admin.rb file
class Admin < ActiveRecord::Base
devise :database_authenticatable, :trackable, :timeoutable, :lockable
attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :lockable
end
And here is the migration I created:
class DeviseCreateAdmins < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
create_table(:admins) do |t|
t.string :email, :null => false, :default => ""
t.string :encrypted_password, :null => false, :default => ""
t.integer :sign_in_count, :default => 0
t.datetime :current_sign_in_at

t.integer :failed_attempts, :default => 0 # Only if lock strategy is :failed_attempts
t.string :unlock_token # Only if unlock strategy is :email or :both
t.datetime :locked_at
t.timestamps
end
end
def self.down
drop_table :admins
end
end
end
I have tried a few different things ti try and test this out and figure out what the issue is. Again any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks!!

I have tried a few things to get it done, but I have still not been able to fix this.
It looks like you might have added :lockable to the model but the migration didn't create the appropriate fields. Check if you have you have uncommented the lockable fields in devise migration(:failed_attempts, :unlock_token, :locked_at)
I got the same error message by installing the Devise3+Rails4 Example app.
In the example app, users are preconfigured to be :confirmable and :lockable and if you look at the table users you'll see columns such as confirmation_token and confirmed_at as well as failed_attempts and locked_at, while the admin table doesn't have these. The /app/model/user.rb has those two attributes in the call to devise:
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, ... :confirmable, :lockable
and /app/model/admin.rb does not. If you add :confirmable and/or :lockable to the Admin model then you'll see this error message. I'm pretty sure the NameError is caused by either a Devise or Rails class implementing method_missing to look for a database table with that name.
I don't know enough about Devise to know the fix off the top of my head but it should be something similar to rake db:migrate so that after you add those attributes in the model, a migration is generated and then executed to add those columns to the admin table.
I've also already configured /config/initializers/devise.rb to enable locking strategies, etc.. as the other answer suggested. In addition, locking and confirming worked for Users prior to the change to the Admin model and continue to work for Users if :confirmable and :lockable are removed from the Admin model.

Devise.rb Confirmable Not Working

I am new to Ruby and Rails and having some issues with Devise. I am creating a new Devise installation. Even though, I believe I have properly configured my devise.rb initializer for enabling confirmable; but when I migrate the database the confirmed_at and related fields are not there. I found a ton of posts on how to add it after, but I was wondering if I am doing something wrong or does the
rails generate devise User
command does not generate the Model instances, even if you have then enabled in your devise.rb file before creation?
I am learning so I don't want to add the fields manually if I am configuring my devise.rb file incorrectly from the beginning. Thank you for any help!!!
