How to authenticate

See original GitHub issue

I am curious on how to authenticate using server. I don’t see how to configure my session store to be mongoDB using connect-mongo. A tutorial on how to this will be really helpful.

I believe I am struggling with the exact same issues wrt connect-pg-simple, and until the interfaces are cleared up I would suggest downplaying the Express session / middleware compatibility features a notch. Alternatively, improve the docs on how it should be done (no, I haven’t figured it out unfortunately). It seems the pattern with initializing a store with a session object is pretty common…

I did add it to the documentation for session stores, but I should add it to the Sessions in Production tutorial as well.
