Checking if user is authenticated on server side

Question 💬

I'd like to check if user is authenticated on the server side, so I can redirect or just don't perform certain requests.

I have tried debugging with:

 const session = await getSession(context); // is always null

But the session appears to always be null, if I console.log the value on the server. Here I would expect it to contain user information, if the user was authenticated. I tried requesting the page, after having been logged in. I notice that on server it will say null, but on the client it will say I am logged in.

Am I missing something here?
