NextJS API Auth.

[arunreddy]

Hello,

I was following the documentation at https://docs.propelauth.com/reference/backend-apis/nextjs. Using the manual token is failing with the following error with Next JS 13.5.2.

import { initBaseAuth } from "@propelauth/node";

const propelauth = initBaseAuth({
  // You can find these fields under the Backend Integration section for your project in PropelAuth.
  authUrl: "YOUR_AUTH_URL",
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  manualTokenVerificationMetadata: {
    verifierKey: `YOUR
        MULTILINE
        KEY`,
    issuer: "YOUR_ISSUER_URL",
  },
});

Error:

UnauthorizedException [Error]: secretOrPublicKey must be an asymmetric key when using RS256
    at verifyToken (webpack-internal:///(rsc)/./node_modules/.pnpm/@propelauth+node@2.1.4/node_modules/@propelauth/node/dist/index.js:20354:19)

}

When manualTokenVerificationMetadata is removed, it works. Manual token verification is not used for https://docs.propelauth.com/reference/backend-apis/node.

Hey @arunreddy - usually this happens if the key isn't formatted correctly. Want to email us at support@propelauth.com with the key you are using and we can help out?
