ember-simple-auth-devise not authenticating

I have an Ember CLI front-end app, and a Rails app using Devise for authentication. I thought I had things set up correctly, but I am running into a few problems.

1) After submitting the login form, I do not get re-directed. If I manually click a link that is behind authentication, it sees I'm authenticated.

2) After reloading the page, the session info in local storage doesn't persist.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
