I have an angular 2 app which should authenticate to a Node Express backend where it sends an login request to the backend and receives a cookie. It should send this cookie
By default angular is not sending cookies. Try pass { withCredentials: true } to your RequestOptions:
{ withCredentials: true }
let options = new RequestOptions({ headers: headers, withCredentials: true }); this.http.post(this.connectUrl, , options);
