#problem with JWT key
heady karmaBOT
Based on the error message you've provided, it appears you're encountering an issue with JWT key formatting in your Convex Auth setup. This error typically occurs when the JWT_PRIVATE_KEY environment variable is not properly formatted. Let's address this issue step by step:
-
First, ensure that your JWT_PRIVATE_KEY is correctly set in your Convex environment variables. This should be done in the Convex dashboard, not in a local .env file.
-
The JWT_PRIVATE_KEY should be in PKCS#8 format. It typically starts with "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----" and ends with "-----END PRIVATE KEY-----".
-
Make sure there are no extra characters, spaces, or line breaks in your JWT_PRIVATE_KEY value.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following:
-
Regenerate your JWT_PRIVATE_KEY and JWKS:
Run the Convex Auth setup script again as mentioned in the Convex Auth Setup Guide. Use the command:
npx @convex-dev/auth --prodThis will generate new keys for you.
-
Copy the newly generated JWT_PRIVATE_KEY and JWKS values exactly as they are output by the script.
-
Set these new values in your Convex dashboard environment variables. Do not add any extra quotes or formatting.
-
After updating the environment variables, redeploy your Convex functions to ensure the changes take effect.
-
Clear your browser cache and local storage, then try signing in again.
If you're still encountering issues after these steps, you may want to double-check your auth.config.ts file to ensure it's correctly set up for your authentication provider.
