resetPassword & autoSignIn

I can see in the doc that autoSignIn is for "after sign up". But could we have a flag for autoSignInAfterResetPassword ?...

Using existing DB schema with Drizzle

I created a schema for the better auth table called better-auth which I'm passing as auth options to the drizzle adapter. However when I run the cli command to generate the schemas, the better-auth schema isn't being used. Is there a way to use the custom schema I created? The following is my authOptions which I'm sharing between the actual auth instance and a fake one which is used with the cli. ```ts export const authOptions: BetterAuthOptions = { database: drizzleAdapter(...

It doesn't appear that additionalFields in the betterauth config extend to cookie cache.

getCookieCache returns null?

So I am using NextJS, and have set everything up. For the most part BetterAuth works awesome. I want to use the getCookieCache method, so I enable cookie caching in my auth.ts. However, when I look at the docs, and implement the middleware check, my getCookieCache is always null, even when there is a session....

How to wait for new auth data to populate useSession state?

I'm trying to redirect after a login, but the session variables aren't updating soon enough to be used in any of my route guards, who think the user is still logged out. Currently I'm fixing it by adding an await $auth.refetch(), which works, but results in an extra trip to the server, and isn't part of the it's public types (I just happened to stumble on it). Is there anything else I can wait on? I kinda expected to be able to await the signIn.social call and know that the store would be up...

Next.js: useSession() hook does not seem to refresh when session is changed from the server

Hey everyone, I am currently working on adding a login system to my Next.js website. So far everything is working as expected, but I ran into some trouble when trying to automatically redirect users from e.g. the login page to the dashboard after they've clicked the magic link for example. Here's some information: - Sign-in is called from a Server Component using the API. - Sign-out is also called from a Server Component....

Solution:

Perhaps this is simply not the right usage for useSession, since it does work with a cookie and the server cannot reactively send new info to clients without a refresh. I just added a 5000ms polling effect and it does the trick

SAML SSO Plugin Help

I've gotten all the way to the point with the new SSO plugin. When i click the button that's attached to the authClient.signIn.sso, I redirect to a page with JSON: {"redirect":true,"url":"https://login.microsoftonline.com/<idp-id>/saml2/dashboard"} I'm not understanding where the 302 redirect is supposed to happen if at all here. I've followed the beta docs (minus using the spMetadata function due to it not building the xml correctly with the entityId). ...

`useNumberId` is set, but `id` is still a string?

Hey, I'm using useNumberId: true in my betterAuth config (with an SQLite database), but I'm still seeing that the user id is a string in my auth middleware. Did I miss something ? Thanks in advance :). ```typescript...

Solution:

In order for existing plugins and libraries that work around Better-auth to continue to function, the id value has to remain a string. Our adapter system will automatically convert the id from string to int and vice versa when interacting with DB....

Is there a superadmin role that lets you manage every organization?

hey guys, I'm building an admin portal for my company's project. We need to be able to manage (delete/edit/send invitation) every organization even if the operator is not in that organization. Is it possible in better-auth?

Solution:

https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/1595 Turned out it isn't available yet. I added a hook on /oauth2/redirect to automatically add users logged in through our internal IdP to a special organization, then added a server action to directly modify the database if that user is a part of the special organization. ugly but it works 😅...
