Is it possible to use the v4 beta of Auth0's Next.js SDK with Convex?

Hello, I am trying to figure out if making a custom integration of Auth0's Beta v4 Next.js SDK would work in Convex Authentication? I did try to make one, the problem is it always show that I am unauthenticated. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any help is appreciated, thank you. Versions I am using: - "@auth0/nextjs-auth0": "4.0.0-beta.13" - "convex": "^1.17.4" - "next": "15.1.3" Source code: - Custom auth integration: https://pastebin.com/DMPJDfXH - Convex client: https://pastebin.com/DJZ0sfau - Page/Route client: https://pastebin.com/RbeCXSrC

Definitely should be possible. Are you using an auth0 provider? Don’t see it in the provider file you shared.

arkOP•2w ago

Yep, I am using an Auth0 provider though I may have forgotten to include it in the pastebins auth.config.ts

export default {
    providers: [
      {
        domain: process.env.AUTH0_DOMAIN,
        applicationID: process.env.AUTH0_CLIENT_ID,
      },
    ]
};

export default {
    providers: [
      {
        domain: process.env.AUTH0_DOMAIN,
        applicationID: process.env.AUTH0_CLIENT_ID,
      },
    ]
};

I did some digging at Convex's package, I found out that backendReportsIsAuthenticated from client.setAuth returns false. I don't know how or what's the procedure to have this property set to true. With that, I don't really know where or what's the problem ;/

Dang. If you can share a repo that reproduces this I can take a look in the morning.

arkOP•2w ago

Yea sure i'll make a repo real quick

Awesome, thanks for this 👍

arkOP•2w ago

Alright, thanks.

@ark do you specifically require this beta version of the auth0 next package for some functionality or are you just trying to get auth0 working with Next v15 and Convex?

arkOP•2w ago

I do require the beta version. The version 4 of Auth0 supports Next.js 15, while the older versions won't. Source: https://github.com/auth0/nextjs-auth0/issues/1808

I just ran into Auth0's React client not supporting React 19, although it works fine with --legacy-peer-deps. @ark Do you have this auth0 library working without Convex? Working through your repo it seems like it's missing some steps from the setup in the README of https://github.com/auth0/nextjs-auth0 @ark it looks like you're passing in an access token instead of an identity token I don't see a straightforward to to get an identity token with this library I wired something working here https://github.com/NvermindLabs/convex-auth0/compare/main...thomasballinger:convex-auth0-repro:directionally-right I had to add a callback URL to the Auth0 app and had trouble with envars so hardcoded domain but that's just normal setup for this library The Identity Token is doesn't hit the browser unless you send it explicitly by customizing beforeSessionSaved

arkOP•2w ago

Yep, auth0 works fine without using convex Thanks for that! I will test it once I got back home

ballingt•2w ago

It's not a finished integration, you might test with a small refresh time to make sure it works with refreshing.

arkOP•2w ago

Thank you, @ballingt. I just tested it, and everything works, even with refreshing. Perhaps the sort of issue of not having a direct method to get the ID token could be brought to the Auth0 team working with the Next.js SDK, but hey, it works now. Thank you as well @erquhart.

ballingt•2w ago

@ark if you file the issue on https://github.com/auth0/nextjs-auth0 I'll chime in, I agree!
