Error 500 with AuthProvider

Hi, I'm using Next.js 14/app router. When I wrap my app with the AuthProvider, I get a 500 error in the console. Is this expected?
By the way, I'm also using withAuth with the Next.js middleware. Do I still need to wrap my app with the AuthProvider?
Also, I noticed that most videos about Kinde never mention the AuthProvider component.

XHRGET http://localhost:3000/api/auth/setup [HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error 133ms]

Hey Entropy. Sorry you're getting this error?
Who do you mean by auth provider? Are you referring to Google, GitHub, etc, as social sign up connections?

CB_Kinde•12/3/24, 1:39 AM

Or enterprise connection like Entra ID?

I believe they mean the AuthProvider component provided by the NextJS SDK @CB_Kinde

@entropy , I’ve personally never used it and encountered no issues with not using it. Not even Kindes own NextJS App Router Starter Kit uses it. I feel like it may be leftover from V1 of the App Router SDK but I’d need a team member to confirm. There shouldn’t be a problem with using it though, so it sounds like you may have a bug or configuration issue here.

Does the app work for you without it? Do routes like api/auth/login or api/auth/health still work?

I mean the component mentioned in the Next.js App Router SDK Documentation. https://docs.kinde.com/developer-tools/sdks/backend/nextjs-sdk/

@Yoshify Yes, the app works without this component, but it’s clearly a part of the setup process according to the documentation.

I'll have to clarify with the team to get a solid answer on it. I'll get back to you.

entropyOP•12/4/24, 10:03 AM

Ok, I'm waiting for your answer

CB_Kinde•12/4/24, 9:53 PM

I've passed onto the team and they will respond when they can. Are you blocked?

entropyOP•12/8/24, 7:07 PM

Sorry, I completely missed your message.

I still have this error, and I’m not really sure what to do with the component mentioned in the documentation. It doesn’t prevent my application from working, but I’d like to avoid potential issues in production later on.

CB_Kinde•12/9/24, 4:35 AM

Hi @entropy here is an initial answer from one of our devs. There is some discussion still continuing.

Its a great question - we've added it in to handle refreshing tokens on timer. Since Next.js doesn't allow setting cookies from a page.tsx it means that there are some cases where the token should be refreshed, but it can't be refreshed from server component pages. That's why we've put it into the docs To help handle that case

Experiencing the same issue - 500s on /auth/setup

Hi @entropy

I'm sorry to hear you're encountering a 500 Internal Server Error when integrating the AuthProvider component in your Next.js 14 application. Let's address your concerns and provide guidance on resolving this issue.

Understanding AuthProvider and withAuth:
AuthProvider: This component, as per the Kinde Next.js App Router SDK documentation, is designed to wrap your application, providing access to Kinde
withAuth Middleware: Protects routes by allowing only authenticated users.

Do You Need Both?:
Yes, using both is recommended. The AuthProvider ensures that your React components have access to authentication data and that tokens are refreshed appropriately. The withAuth middleware protects specific routes at the server level. Together, they provide a comprehensive authentication solution.

Troubleshooting the 500 Error:

The 500 error at /api/auth/setup suggests that the authentication route handlers might not be configured correctly. According to the Kinde documentation, you should create a file at app/api/auth/[kindeAuth]/route.js with the following content:

import { handleAuth } from "@kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs/server";

export const GET = handleAuth();

This setup is crucial for handling Kinde Auth endpoints in your Next.js app.

Ensure that all necessary environment variables are correctly set in your .env.local file.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue causing the 500 error when using the AuthProvider component in your Next.js application, If the issue persists after these checks let me know i will pass this to my engineering team.

Hi, I’m not sure if I’m talking to a bot. Anyway, my configuration seems correct, but I still get this error.

Ages•1/17/25, 4:56 AM

Hi @entropy ,

I apologize if I came across like a bot – I'm definitely not one. You're experiencing a 500 error at /api/auth/setup when wrapping your application with the AuthProvider component, as per the Kinde Next.js App Router SDK documentation. https://community.kinde.com/nextjs-app-router-500-error-constant-setup-lJ0t6n4blKfx

I recommended to verify that your Next.js application has the necessary API route handler for Kinde authentication. Create a file at with the following content:

import { handleAuth } from "@kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs/server";
export const GET = handleAuth();

This setup is crucial for handling Kinde Auth endpoints in your Next.js app.

Ensure that all required environment variables are correctly set in your .env.local file. Missing or incorrect environment variables can lead to authentication errors.
If you're using an older version of the Kinde SDK, consider updating to the latest version. Some users have reported that downgrading to version 2.3.6 resolved similar issues. https://github.com/kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs/issues/204
Enable debug mode to obtain more detailed error messages. This can help identify the root cause of the 500 error.

Additional Resources:
Next.js Authentication Documentation

If the issue persists after implementing these steps, please provide more details about your configuration, and i will escalate it to our engineering team for further investigation.

The problem persists. My configuration has been correct from the start, and there is nothing more I can do on my side.
I am using the latest available version of the SDK (2.4.6), Next.js (14.2.22), and the App Router
