Client re-authenticates and reloads every couple seconds

[danorlando]

My application is re-authenticating and reloading every couple seconds. I am testing out the react-oidc library with Auth0. The authentication is successful and the client receives a valid access token, but Its as if the client does not know that it is authenticated and so it continues trying to re-authenticate.

This is my configuration:

export const configurationAuth0 = {
  client_id: '7a76N12nFlJTGX6LPyO9WToZ9BqiVQjJ',
  redirect_uri: window.location.origin + '/authentication/callback',
  silent_redirect_uri: window.location.origin + '/authentication/silent-callback',
  scope: 'openid profile email api offline_access',
  authority: 'https://dev-6p6dxb6obb331271.us.auth0.com',
  service_worker_relative_url: '/OidcServiceWorker.js',
  service_worker_only: false,
  token_renew_mode: TokenRenewMode.access_token_invalid
};

I'll share a couple of screenshots that should be helpful in troubleshooting...

Here is the request made to the /authorize endpoint:

Here is the POST request made to the auth0 domain/oauth/token endpoint... (note that there is no response for this request)

Response to request to get access token:

Decoded token:

If you want to try messing around with it yourself, this is the branch I'm working off of. If you do test it yourself, make sure to replace the config in client/src/auth/configs.js with the one shown above since it is pulling values from the .env, which is not committed to the repo.

It might also be worth mentioning that I tested this with the react-auth0 library to make sure there wasn't a configuration issue with the tenant in auth0 and everything worked as expected.

Hi @danorlando , do you have as a text a full token response. I may need it to find the cause of the problem.
