next-auth VS iron-session

NextAuth.js is not perfect. One of the shortcomings is that it currently does not implement federated logout. This means that even if a user signs out of the Next.js app, he does NOT get signed out of the Cognito user pool client. As a consequence, the user is not really being logged out (i.e he is able to login again without providing the credentials). You can read more about this problem in this Github thread.

NextAuth for adding auth

Let's learn a bit about Descope and how to use it with Auth.js (next-auth) to protect our Next.js app with role-based access control (RBAC).

Next Auth CognitoProvider Internal Library: https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth/blob/v4/packages/next-auth/src/providers/cognito.ts

I mentioned this in an age-old discussion on NextAuth GitHub repo.

Authentication is a fundamental part of most web applications. Integrating authentication into your Next.js app can be simplified with NextAuth, a powerful authentication library that supports various authentication methods. However, the documentation around setting up NextAuth with the "Credentials" auth provider might not be as clear as you'd hope. My implementation is greatly enriched and partially based on Next-Auth docs and the following github thread.

For Auth: https://authjs.dev/ - works like a charm with Svelte https://authjs.dev/reference/sveltekit

NextAuth.js

I'm surprised nobody mentioned https://authjs.dev/

The iron-session module's latest version is Edge Runtime-friendly, so all we had to do was update our version. Simple as that!

Anybody know a way to get session information from iron-session in client side using the new app directory?

Hello everyone. I am trying to make a library that is compatible with brc-dd/iron-webcrypto. This lib is the underlying library for vvo/iron-session. Which is a session management for Next.js. I thought this is a great way to learn something. But now I have a problem with the algorithm.

If you read how it works, you can see it just does something before they return handler(req, res) at the end.

You could use something like iron-session to pass along an encrypted token

Check out iron-session. I just started using it for a new project where I already have an authentication setup. It makes it easy to use cookies for authorization. The repo has some examples of how to wrap API routes and getServerSideProps with it.

Ive recommend you to take a look to the iron-session that will help you with the auth controlled pages thing https://github.com/vvo/iron-session
