#### Protect Routes When Using Sessions

Passport provides an `isAuthenticated()` function on the request object, which
is used to determine if the user has been authenticated and stored in the
session.

```javascript
app.post('/some/protected/route',
function(req, res, next) {
if(req.isAuthenticated()){
next();
} else {
next(new Error('Unauthorized'));
}
});
```

For a more complete solution to handling unauthenticated users, see
[connect-ensure-login](https://github.com/jaredhanson/connect-ensure-login), a
middleware to ensure login sessions.
