Auth0, now part of Okta, is a flexible, drop-in solution to add authentication and authorization services to your applications. It provides a comprehensive suite of tools to manage user identities, including social login, multi-factor authentication, and more. Auth0 is designed to simplify the process of securing applications, allowing developers to focus on building their core products.
When integrating Auth0 into your application, you might encounter the invalid_redirect_uri
error. This error typically manifests when a user attempts to log in or sign up, and the application fails to redirect them to the intended page after authentication.
Users may see an error message indicating that the redirect URI is invalid. This can disrupt the user experience, preventing them from accessing the application as expected.
The invalid_redirect_uri
error occurs when the redirect URI specified in the authentication request does not match any of the URIs configured in the Auth0 dashboard for the client application. This mismatch can happen due to typos, incorrect configurations, or changes in the application’s URL structure.
The root cause of this issue is a misconfiguration in the allowed redirect URIs for your Auth0 client. Auth0 uses these URIs to ensure that after authentication, users are redirected to a legitimate and expected location.
To resolve this error, follow these steps:
Ensure that the redirect URI in your application’s authentication request matches exactly with one of the URIs listed in the Auth0 dashboard. This includes checking for typos, case sensitivity, and any trailing slashes.
Log in to your Auth0 dashboard and navigate to the Applications section. Select your application and go to the Settings tab. Under Allowed Callback URLs, add or correct the redirect URI to match the one used in your application.
After updating the redirect URI, test the authentication flow in your application to ensure that the error is resolved. If the issue persists, double-check the URI configurations and consider clearing your browser cache or using an incognito window to rule out caching issues.
