Laravel, can't log a user by id and then redirect him

I'm using Laravel 5.2. I'd like to log a user by his id and then redirect him to the dashboard but it's not working.

I did this:

$result = Auth::loginUsingId($id);
var_dump($result->toArray());

and the result is fine. It returns the object user with all his data.

But after redirecting the user to the dashboard with return redirect()->route('dashboard'); it send me to login page!

I discover then that Auth::user() returns null !

What shall i do?

Thanks

Use $redirectTo as stated in the documentation, if you get into login again Auth wasn't successful, perhaps something related with session or cookies, or just a bad time configuration. Try Auth::loginUsingId($id, true); then.

Authentication needs sessions and for sessions to work you need to use the web middleware. So the routes that need working sessions should be defined like this:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
    // Routes that need sessions go here
});
