Laravel 5.1: Auth::attemp() success but Auth::check() return false

Question

I already looking for related issue with this but didn't solved yet.

Auth::attempt() is success
try to register session after Auth::attempt() is success
remember_token field on users table is always null

This is my code:

AuthController:

protected function login(Request $request){
    $result = [];
    $rules = ['email' => 'required|email', 'password' => 'required|alphaNum|min:3'];
    $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), $rules);

    if($validator->fails()) {
        $result['message'] = 'Login Failed';

    }else{
        $userdata = ['email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password];
        if (Auth::attempt($userdata, $request->has('auth_remember'))) {
            // dd(Auth::user()); << THIS DATA IS EXIST
            // $request->session()->push('user.id', Auth::user()->id);
            // $request->session()->push('user.name', Auth::user()->name);
            // $request->session()->push('user.email', Auth::user()->email);

            // dd($request->session()->all()); << THIS DATA IS EXIST
            $result['message'] = 'Login successfull. Redirecting ...';
        }else{
            $result['message'] = 'User not found';
        }
    }
    echo json_encode($result);
}

I have a middleware Auth when I go to http://.../dashboard, but...

Auth::check() return false
$request->session()->has('user') return false

Auth Middleware:

    public function handle($request, Closure $next){
      if($this->auth->viaRemember()) return $next($request);

      if($this->auth->guest()){
        if($request->ajax()){
            return response('Unauthorized.', 401);
        }else{
            return redirect()->guest('login');
        }
      }

      return $next($request);
  }

storage/framework/session already set to 777
file session are generated
app timezone already match with server settings and database settings

Any help would be appreciated.

I have same problem now. I doubt if user table and its fields - id, username, password are could be the problem. I tried to modify SessionGuard::user() function, but it seems session is empty. Session has name, but there is no such file under /storage/framework/sessions. Is there no one to solve this problem? — Miron
I solved the problem. user table and its fields - id, username, password was the problem. Try to change $primaryKey and $table of User model according to your DB. — Miron

Why are you adding logged user data manually to the session, You can user use Auth::user() to get user data anytime after attempt
