Should be attached to the res, as per this file
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/master/src/auth/operations/login.ts

Thank you for sending me this file, you are correct the code does show that, however no cookie is being attached to the res on my end!
Jarrodlast year
do you have auth.cookies.domains configured by chance? (on your auth collection config)
Lucianolast year
Yes,
auth.cookies.domain: 'localhost:8080'
Jarrodlast year
and that is you CMS domain?
Lucianolast year
For my development environment, yes.
Jarrodlast year
curious if the same thing happens when you remove that (I believe it will act the same)
Lucianolast year
You are right, removing
auth.cookies.domain
makes it act as before

Is the code at
https://payloadcms.com/docs/authentication/operations#login
meant to be implemented on the front end? Because mine is run on the backend

After setting the cookie manually & visiting
http://localhost:8080/api/accounts/me
, that works. The Payload Auth Middleware however is not working when checking
req.user

@Jarrod just want to confirm that Auth Login is now setting a cookie once I added payload.login
res: res,
& removed
auth.cookies.domain

Thank you for your help!

That is great, thank you for following up
