SuperTokens INVALID_REDIRECT_URI

The redirect URI does not match the allowed URIs.

Understanding SuperTokens: A Powerful Auth Provider

SuperTokens is an open-source authentication solution designed to provide secure and scalable user authentication for web and mobile applications. It simplifies the process of implementing authentication by offering features like session management, social login, and passwordless login. SuperTokens is particularly useful for developers looking to integrate robust authentication mechanisms without the overhead of building them from scratch.

Identifying the Symptom: INVALID_REDIRECT_URI

When integrating SuperTokens into your application, you might encounter the error code INVALID_REDIRECT_URI. 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. Instead, an error message is displayed, indicating that the redirect URI is invalid.

Exploring the Issue: What Causes INVALID_REDIRECT_URI?

The INVALID_REDIRECT_URI error occurs when the redirect URI specified in your application does not match the URIs configured in the SuperTokens dashboard. This mismatch can happen due to typos, incorrect configurations, or changes in the application's URL structure that are not reflected in the SuperTokens settings.

Common Scenarios Leading to the Error

  • Changes in the application's domain or path that are not updated in SuperTokens.
  • Typographical errors in the redirect URI.
  • Incorrect environment configurations (e.g., using production settings in a development environment).

Steps to Resolve INVALID_REDIRECT_URI

To resolve the INVALID_REDIRECT_URI error, follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify the Redirect URI

Ensure that the redirect URI in your application matches exactly with what is configured in the SuperTokens dashboard. Check for any typographical errors or discrepancies in the domain, path, or query parameters.

Step 2: Update SuperTokens Configuration

Log in to your SuperTokens dashboard and navigate to the application settings. Update the allowed redirect URIs to include the correct URI used in your application. Make sure to include all necessary environments (e.g., development, staging, production).

Step 3: Test the Configuration

After updating the settings, test the authentication flow in your application to ensure that the redirect URI is correctly recognized and the error no longer occurs. Use tools like HTTP headers to verify the redirection process.

Conclusion

By carefully verifying and updating the redirect URI configurations in both your application and the SuperTokens dashboard, you can effectively resolve the INVALID_REDIRECT_URI error. This ensures a seamless authentication experience for your users and maintains the security and integrity of your application.
