SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Configure and harden a Better Auth deployment by applying best-practice controls across the authentication stack, including rate limiting, secret management, CSRF protection, trusted origins, session and cookie security, OAuth token encryption, IP tracking, and comprehensive audit logging.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforce rate limiting with configurable windows and per-endpoint rules to reduce brute-force attempts.
  • Centralize secret management and secure handling of credentials to prevent leakage.
  • Enable CSRF protections and origin validation to defend web apps against forgery.
  • Define trusted origins and enforce secure session handling and cookie attributes for privacy and integrity.
  • Encrypt OAuth tokens and implement robust session state management for protected APIs.
  • Track IP addresses and provide audit logging for security monitoring and compliance.
  • Use case: deploy in production-grade Better Auth setups to reduce risk and improve incident response.

Quick Start

Configure the production-ready security profile by enabling rate limiting, CSRF protection, secure cookies, and audit logging in your Better Auth configuration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure rate limiting in Better Auth to prevent brute-force attacks?

Configure rate limiting in Better Auth by setting configurable time windows and per-endpoint rules to throttle repeated attempts. This reduces brute-force attack risks by restricting request frequency across your authentication endpoints.

What is the best way to secure OAuth tokens and manage sessions in Better Auth?

Secure OAuth tokens in Better Auth by enabling token encryption and implementing robust session state management. This protects API credentials and ensures session integrity across protected web services.

How do I set up CSRF protection and validate trusted origins for a Better Auth deployment?

Set up CSRF protection in Better Auth by defining trusted origins and enforcing origin validation. This defends your web application against cross-site forgery by verifying request sources against your configured allowlist.

Does Better Auth support IP tracking and audit logging for security compliance?

Better Auth supports IP tracking and comprehensive audit logging to monitor user activity across sessions. This provides structured security auditing necessary for compliance and incident response in production environments.

How do I enforce secure cookie attributes and centralized secret management in Better Auth?

Enforce secure cookie attributes and centralize secret management in Better Auth to prevent credential leakage. This ensures session privacy and integrity by handling sensitive configuration securely across your deployment.
