Laravel Auth::check() fails when I move to another site and come back

I am trying to connect to a eBay store from my Laravel application. When I login to my system and create a store I am redirected to the eBay.com site where I approve the token generation.

Then eBay generates the token and redirects to the callback URL on my site. By that time my site gets me logged out and redirect to the login page.

The Laravel version I am using is 5.3 and following is the piece of code which checks for authentication. Also, I am using the default id column as primary key.

if (Auth::check()) $loginUser = Auth::user(); $ebay_sessionId = $loginUser->ebay_session_id; else return redirect('/login');

Can you also add the login process code? With the routes and the controller that it's handling it?

Could you share some code to explain what you mean?

You have to share your code! Anyway I explain myself a little better... I think the application problem is the Auth::check() that is called before the user session is started... That's why I was asking you to post the code pre redirect to ebay and after the redirect

Auth::check()

Is there a reason why you are not using Laravel's built in authentication?

It is the built-in authentication. Here I am getting the user and the value associated with the user

You're not doing it in your browsers incognito mode are you? Otherwise it won't persist your session if it opens a new window/tab.

Not in incognito mode

I had a similar issue where sometimes my app was connected to default DB "forge" specified at "database.php" at config as follows

'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),

here I have removed "env" and put my DB name directly as follows and it worked.

'database' => 'my_db_name'

Since you have an issue with the session, give it a try by removing "env" at "session.php" at the config folder.

Hope this will work out.

That made the trick. Do you have any idea why it fails with env file? When I hard coded the session driver to 'file' it works but when I read from the env file it sometimes works but not otherwise. Have an idea?
