Logged in but cant query authenticedUser, Just retruns null

[thomascanham]

If I log in to the Admin UI, everything works as expected. When I use the GraphQL playground to run some queries and I asked for the authenticated User, It simply returns null. This is from the playground or the frontend.

My keystone set up is as follows:

`import { config } from '@keystone-6/core';
import { createAuth } from '@keystone-6/auth';
import { statelessSessions } from '@keystone-6/core/session';
import 'dotenv/config';

// Imports for lists here

// Custom values needed for the config
const database = process.env.DATABASE_URL;
const frontend = process.env.FRONTEND_URL;
const sessionSecret = process.env.SESSION_SECRET;
const sessionMaxAge = 60 * 60 * 24 * 1;

const { withAuth } = createAuth({
  listKey: 'User',
  identityField: 'username',
  secretField: 'password',
  sessionData: "name"
});

export default withAuth(
  config({
    db: {
      provider: 'mysql',
      url: `${database}`,
      additionalPrismaDatasourceProperties: {
        relationMode: 'prisma',
      },
    },
    session: statelessSessions({
      maxAge: sessionMaxAge,
      secret: sessionSecret,
    }),
    server: {
      cors: {
        origin: [frontend, "http://localhost:3000"],
        credentials: true,
      }
    },
    ui: {
      isAccessAllowed: (context) => !!context.session?.data,
    },
    lists: {
      //list go her
    },
  })
);

Im running the query

query {
  authenticatedItem {
    ... on User {
      id
      username
    }
  }
}

Just constantly returning null. I have actually no idea where to begin on this now.

Hi,

My guess is you are not sending cookies in the playground.
See #8442 (comment)

That is exactly what I am looking for, thank you very much! I wasn't aware that it had changed.

Do you know how to get this working in a Next.js front end? I am using apollo to to query the data and I can run AuthenticateUserWithPasswor to run correctly and get a success response. But it is not persisting and I cant query the user on the front end. I am unsure how to pass the cookies or required tokens across that way. I have credentials set to 'same-origin'

If you have separate backend (eg. localhost:4000 / api.example.com) and frontend (eg. localhost:3000 / example.com) then, with default cookie settings, they are considered to be different domains and you have to set credentials: "include".

@marekryb That got it working! I would like to say a big thank you for taking the time to get back to me on that. It's been puzzling me for a few days now! Thank you again!
