fix(nextjs): keep the ID token claims in the session cookie and switch organizations without the in-memory session - #550
Conversation
…h organizations without the in-memory session The Next.js session lives in an HttpOnly JWT cookie, but organization switching, the current-organization lookup and the ID-token fallback of the user profile still went through the legacy Node client, whose session is a process-local memory cache. After a server restart, on another serverless instance, or once the middleware had refreshed the tokens in the Edge runtime, that cache was empty or stale and those operations failed while the user was still signed in. - Store the ID token claims (minus single-use protocol claims) in the session cookie at sign-in, on organization switch and on refresh. - Read them back in getDecodedIdToken(); keep the in-memory session only as a fallback for cookies issued before this change. - Perform the organization_switch grant directly with the access token from the cookie and update the in-memory session best-effort afterwards. - Align the getUser() fallback with the React SDK (ID token claims). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Next.js package stores filtered ID-token claims in the signed session cookie. Client profile and organization methods read cookie-backed claims and access tokens. Token refresh updates these claims, while organization switching uses a direct token-endpoint request. ChangesCookie-backed session claims

…ect redirects on the organization switch Addresses the review comments on asgardeo#550: - When the signed session token would exceed the ~4 KB a browser cookie can hold, reduce the persisted ID token claims to the essential set (organization and basic identity claims) or leave them out entirely, and log a warning. Without a budget, a large `groups` or custom attribute list could make the browser drop the replacement cookie and sign the user out after sign-in or refresh. - Send the `organization_switch` token request with `redirect: 'error'` so a redirect can never forward the access token or client secret.

Add a bounded timeout to the organization-switch token fetch.
The Next.js server action awaits AsgardeoNextClient.switchOrganization, and neither caller supplies cancellation. If the token endpoint accepts the request but does not respond, this fetch can keep the server action pending and consume request capacity. Pass a bounded AbortSignal to this fetch. The existing error path will surface the timeout as a switch failure.

Problem
The Next.js session is stored in an HttpOnly JWT cookie, but several operations still went through the legacy Node client, which keeps its session in a process-local
memory-cachestore:switchOrganization()resolved{{accessToken}}/{{username}}from that store (and required the user to be "signed in" there),getCurrentOrganization()and the ID-token fallback ofgetUser()/getUserProfile()read the ID token from it.After a server restart, on another serverless instance, or once the middleware has refreshed the tokens in the Edge runtime (which only updates the cookie), that store is empty or stale: organization switching fails and the current organization is lost even though the user is still signed in. The ID token was never persisted anywhere the server could reach it again.
Fix
idTokenClaims), minus the single-use protocol claims (at_hash,c_hash,nonce,sid, ...) to keep the cookie small. They are written at sign-in (embedded and redirect flows) and on organization switch, and refreshed from theid_tokenof the refresh response in the middleware.AsgardeoNextClient.getDecodedIdToken()decodes a given token directly, otherwise returns the claims from the cookie, and only falls back to the in-memory session for cookies issued before this change.switchOrganization()performs theorganization_switchgrant itself with the access token from the cookie (honouringendpoints.tokenandtokenRequest.authMethod) and updates the in-memory session best-effort for the remaining legacy code paths.getUser()fallback now mirrors the React SDK (claims of the ID token) instead of the legacy client'sgetUser.Testing
