Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

  1. Create a backend using oidc plugin, using trustedClients where one of your trusted clients requires a consent screen.
  2. Attempt to login using one of the trusted clients.
  3. When authClient.oauth2.consent is called, observe a database error: "SERVER_ERROR: [Error: FOREIGN KEY constraint failed]"
  4. The same happens when the oauth2/token endpoint is called.

Current vs. Expected behavior

Current behavior:
Trusted clients can't be used for consent, or return access tokens, due to the fact that they're not in the oauthApplication table, and the oauthAccessToken and oauthConsent tables use a foreign key to reference oauthApplication.

Expected behavior:
Trusted clients can be used for consent and return login tokens.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.3.28

Hi @rbayliss! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

This is a known limitation: trustedClients configured in the OIDC plugin are not automatically inserted into the oauthApplication table, but the oauthAccessToken and oauthConsent tables require a valid clientId foreign key reference to oauthApplication. That's why you see a foreign key constraint error when using trustedClients for consent or token flows (details, code reference).

To work around this, you need to manually insert your trusted clients into the oauthApplication table with matching fields (clientId, clientSecret, name, redirectURLs, type, etc). You can do this with a direct SQL insert, a Prisma create, or by enabling dynamic client registration and using the /oauth2/register endpoint (example and discussion). Once the client exists in the table, consent and token flows will work as expected.

This gap between the docs and implementation is known and being tracked (discussion).

To reply, just mention @dosu.

You can do this with a direct SQL insert, a Prisma create, or by enabling dynamic client registration and using the `/oauth2/register` endpoint ([example and discussion](https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/5040)). Once the client exists in the table, consent and token flows will work as expected. This gap between the docs and implementation is known and being tracked ([discussion](https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/4749)). <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
