FAQPage Schema
How do I set up centralized OAuth 2.1 authentication with Better Auth across multiple Next.js apps?

You can establish centralized OAuth 2.1 authentication by running the MCP-based setup command to scaffold the Better Auth server and apply generated SSO client settings across your Next.js applications.

How does PKCE flow integration work when using Better Auth for SSO?

PKCE flow integration in Better Auth secures SSO client connections by requiring a code verifier and challenge during the OAuth 2.1 authorization process, preventing token interception attacks.

Can I use Better Auth for JWKS-based offline token verification?

Yes, Better Auth supports JWKS-based offline token verification, allowing your Next.js SSO clients to securely validate OAuth 2.1 ID and access tokens without querying the auth server per request.

Do I need a dedicated auth server to deploy Better Auth OIDC and SSO clients?

Yes, deploying Better Auth OIDC requires a dedicated server configuration scaffold to act as the central authority, while your Next.js apps function as SSO clients connecting to it.

What is the best way to manage token handling patterns and JWKS in a Better Auth environment?

The best way to manage token handling and JWKS in Better Auth is using the MCP guided setup, which establishes secure token patterns and configures JWKS verification for offline validation.
