#Auth not working in prod

I am trying to make the website password-protected.

Locally, it works fine with these environment variables:
NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
NEXTAUTH_SECRET=tcsecret
NEXTAUTH_PASSWORD=tcgpt

However, in production it's not working, with these variables:
NEXTAUTH_URL=https://my-website.com
NEXTAUTH_SECRET=turismocitygpt
NEXTAUTH_PASSWORD=tcgpt

middleware.ts
import { withAuth } from 'next-auth/middleware'

export default withAuth({
secret: process.env.NEXTAUTH_SECRET,
})

export const config = {
matcher: [],
}

auth.ts:
import { type NextAuthOptions } from 'next-auth'
import CredentialsProvider from 'next-auth/providers/credentials'

export const authOptions: NextAuthOptions = {
providers: [
CredentialsProvider({
name: 'password',
credentials: {
password: {
label: 'Password',
type: 'password',
},
},
async authorize(credentials, _request) {
if (credentials?.password == process.env.NEXTAUTH_PASSWORD) {
return { id: '0' }
} else {
return null
}
},
}),
],
session: {
strategy: 'jwt',
},
pages: {
signIn: '/sign-in',
},
}

api/auth/[...nextauth]/route.ts:
import { authOptions } from '@/auth'
import NextAuth from 'next-auth'

const handler = NextAuth(authOptions)

export { handler as GET, handler as POST }

Hi @left fern. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. The extracts provided do not directly address the specific issue of authentication not working in production, nor do they mention environment variables or the middleware configuration you've described.

However, based on the general context of NextAuth.js usage in the extracts, it's important to ensure that your production environment variables (NEXTAUTH_URL, NEXTAUTH_SECRET, NEXTAUTH_PASSWORD) are correctly set and accessible in your production environment. Environment variables can behave differently between local and production environments, and issues often arise from misconfiguration or access issues in production.

For troubleshooting and ensuring your NextAuth.js setup works as expected in production:

  1. Verify Environment Variables: Ensure that your production environment variables are correctly set. This includes checking that they are accessible where your Next.js application is running. Depending on your hosting solution, there might be a specific way to set these (e.g., Vercel, Netlify, Heroku).

  2. Check the Console and Network Logs: In your production environment, check for any errors in the browser console or network logs related to authentication requests. This can provide clues on what might be going wrong.

  3. Review NextAuth.js Documentation: The official NextAuth.js documentation is a valuable resource for understanding how to configure and troubleshoot authentication in Next.js applications. Make sure your implementation aligns with the recommended practices. NextAuth.js Documentation (https://next-auth.js.org/)

  4. Securely Handle Secrets: Ensure that your NEXTAUTH_SECRET and other sensitive environment variables are securely handled and not exposed in your client-side code.

#
  1. Middleware Configuration: Since you're using middleware for authentication, ensure that your middleware.ts configuration is correctly set up for production. The matcher configuration should correctly target the routes you intend to protect.

If after reviewing these areas you're still facing issues, consider searching for or asking for help on platforms like Stack Overflow, or the official Next.js GitHub discussions and NextAuth.js GitHub issues, where you might find others who have encountered and resolved similar issues.
