Clerk and Convex integration error with custom-created users
hey everyone I’m having an issue integrating Clerk with Convex in a multitenant setup.
From my app’s dashboard, I can create users without any problem — but when I try to sign in with one of those users, I always get this error:
Error: Failed to authenticate: "Could not parse as OIDC ID token. Token might not be an OIDC-compliant JWT.", check your server auth config.
If I sign in using another method (like social login) or with a user created directly from the Clerk Dashboard, everything works fine.
I already checked the Issuer and it’s correctly set both in Convex environment variables and locally.
I’ve also tried using both CLERK_JWT_ISSUER_DOMAIN and CLERK_FRONTEND_API_URL, but the issue persists.
Has anyone run into this before or knows what might be causing it?
