WSO2 IS Integration In Next js Using next-auth.js (Part 1)

In the ever-evolving landscape of web development, authentication remains a critical component for building secure and user-friendly applications. WSO2 Identity Server (IS) is a powerful, open-source identity management solution that provides robust support for single sign-on (SSO), identity federation, and OAuth 2.0-based authentication. With its enterprise-grade features, WSO2 IS is a popular choice for organizations looking to implement comprehensive identity and access management.

On the front-end side, Next.js has gained immense popularity as a React-based framework for building modern web applications. Known for its server-side rendering capabilities, static site generation, and API routes, Next.js offers a seamless development experience. However, integrating a secure authentication system into a Next.js application can be a challenging task.

This is where NextAuth.js comes into play. NextAuth.js is a versatile authentication library for Next.js applications, offering out-of-the-box support for various providers, including OAuth, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and even custom backends. It simplifies the implementation of secure authentication flows, making it an excellent choice for developers working with Next.js.

For the next blog, we’ll explore how to integrate WSO2 Identity Server with a Next.js application using NextAuth.js. We’ll cover everything configuring WSO2 IS using NextAuth in Next js, and ultimately, creating a secure authentication flow that you can use in your projects.
