Error: No default account store is mapped to the specified application

Question

I followed the documentation here: https://github.com/stormpath/express-stormpath

Error: No default account store is mapped to the specified application

I get the above error in the console when I try to run my app. Is this more than likely a problem with my code, or should I go to my admin page on the Stormpath site?

I used windows command setx to set the environment variables, not sure if I need to do that if I have the api key and secret in my app.js file. I removed sensitive info with XXXXXXXX for this question.

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

//Stormpath
var stormpath = require('express-stormpath');

//Init Stormpath
app.use(stormpath.init(app, {

    apiKey: {id:'XXXXXXXXXX', secret: 'XXXXXXXXXX'},
    secretKey: 'random_string_of_words_go_here',
    application: 'https://api.stormpath.com/v1/accounts/XXXXXXXXX'

}));

//home:
app.get('/', function(req, res){
    res.render('home');
    console.log(req.session);
});

app.get('/create-quiz', stormpath.loginRequired, function(req, res){
    res.render('createQuiz');
});


//404 page:
app.use(function(req, res, next){
    res.status(404);
    res.render('404');
});

//500 page:
app.use(function(err, req, res, next){
    console.error(err.stack);
    res.status(500);
    res.render('500');
});

app.on('stormpath.ready', function () {
    console.log('Stormpath ready...')
});

app.listen(app.get('port'), function(){
    console.log('Express started on http://localhost: ' + app.get('port') + '; Press ctrl-C to terminate.')
});

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yep! This error is most likely because of your Stormpath application configuration in the admin console.

Every application needs a "directory" to store your accounts, and it seems like you might not have one.

Try signing into Stormpath and adding a "directory" to store your accounts in the admin console. If you do, try making sure you check "default account location".

Here's what mine looks like. Hope this helps!
