choosing and configuring a third-party authentication serviceĮven when choosing a ready to use JWT-based Authentication solution, there will still be some coding involved, especially on the client but also on the server.Īt the end of this post, you will know JWTs in-depth including a good understanding of the cryptographic primitives that they are based upon, which are used in many other security use cases.designing an in-house authentication solution.choosing third-party libraries and understanding their documentation.all sorts of practical troubleshooting: understanding error messages, stack traces.implementing a JWT-based authentication solution.Having a detailed overview of JWTs is essential for: In Part 2, we will then see how JWT-based Authentication can be implemented in the specific context of an Angular Application, but this post is about JWTs only. The goal in this post is to first start by learning how JSON Web Tokens (or JWTs) work in detail, including how they can be used for User Authentication and Session Management in a Web Application. If you use this feature, you will likely want to create conditional behaviour to support setting different cookies policies in development and production builds, as you will be opting out of the built-in dynamic policy.This post is the first part of a two-parts step-by-step guide for implementing JWT-based Authentication in an Angular application (also applicable to enterprise applications).
You can specify one or more cookies with custom properties, but if you specify custom options for a cookie you must provide all the options for that cookie. This is an advanced option and using it is not recommended as you may break authentication or introduce security flaws into your application. You can override the default cookie names and options for any of the cookies used by NextAuth.js. This was introduced to avoid size constraints which can occur when users want to store additional data in their sessionToken, for example. suffix and reassemble the cookies in the correct order when parsing / reading them. Using this option is not recommended.Ĭookies in NextAuth.js are chunked by default, meaning that once they reach the 4kb limit, we will create a new cookie with the. It is intended to support development and testing. Setting this option to false in production is a security risk and may allow sessions to be hijacked if used in production. If set to true returns the raw token without decrypting or verifying it. Raw - (boolean) Get raw token (not decoded) The secureCookie option is ignored if cookieName is explicitly specified. true in production and false in development, unless NEXTAUTH_URL contains an HTTPS URL).ĬookieName - (string) Session token cookie name SecureCookie - (boolean) Use secure prefixed cookie nameīy default, the helper function will attempt to determine if it should use the secure prefixed cookie (e.g. Including custom session maxAge and custom signing and/or encryption keys or options You must also pass any options configured on the jwt option to the helper.Į.g. The getToken() helper requires the following options: toString ( "hex" )įor convenience, this helper function is also able to read and decode tokens passed from the Authorization: 'Bearer token' HTTP header. need a more customized session token string, you can define your own generate function. The session token is usually either a random UUID or string, however if you Note: This option is ignored if using JSON Web Tokens Seconds - Throttle how frequently to write to database to extend a session. Seconds - How long until an idle session expires and is no longer valid. which is used to look up the session in the database. When using `"database"`, the session cookie will only contain a `sessionToken` value, You can still force a JWT session by explicitly defining `"jwt"`. If you use an `adapter` however, we default it to `"database"` instead.
The default is `"jwt"`, an encrypted JWT (JWE) stored in the session cookie. Choose how you want to save the user session.
