Auth0 is another popular provider that supports enterprise-level features like single sign-on, passwordless logins, and a robust rules engine. Integrating it with NextAuth is straightforward.
Create an Auth0 Application
Sign in to .
Create a new application under the Applications section (choose "Regular Web App").
Retrieve Credentials
Under your Auth0 application settings, you’ll find Client ID, Client Secret, and Domain (sometimes referred to as issuer
in NextAuth).
Add Environment Variables
import Auth0Provider from 'next-auth/providers/auth0'
providers: [ Auth0Provider({ clientId: process.env.AUTH0_CLIENT_ID, clientSecret: process.env.AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET, issuer: process.env.AUTH0_ISSUER, }), // ...other providers ]
In your Auth0 application settings, ensure your allowed callback/logout URLs match your app’s domain. For local development, you might add something like:
http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/auth0
as an allowed callback URL.
Auth0 Benefits • Advanced Security & Enterprise Options: Great for companies that need SSO, multi-factor authentication, or specialized compliance. • Customizable Login Pages: Tailor your login experience to match your brand. • Rules & Hooks: Insert custom logic during the Auth flow (e.g., for user metadata).
That’s it! You now have a secure integration with Auth0. For more advanced options like Role-Based Access Control or multi-tenant setups, refer to the Auth0 Docs.
