  • Authorized Scopes

Configuration

/auth.ts
import NextAuth from "next-auth" import AzureDevOps from "next-auth/providers/azure-devops"   export const { handlers, auth, signIn, signOut } = NextAuth({  providers: [  AzureDevOps({  clientId: AUTH_AZURE_DEVOPS_APP_ID,  clientSecret: AUTH_AZURE_DEVOPS_CLIENT_SECRET,  }),  ], })

Refresh token rotation

Use the main guide as your starting point with the following considerations:

./auth.ts
export const { signIn, signOut, auth } = NextAuth({  callbacks: {  async jwt({ token, user, account }) {  // The token has an absolute expiration time  const accessTokenExpires = account.expires_at * 1000  },  }, })   async function refreshAccessToken(token) {  const response = await fetch(  "https://app.vssps.visualstudio.com/oauth2/token",  {  headers: { "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" },  method: "POST",  body: new URLSearchParams({  client_assertion_type:  "urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer",  client_assertion: AZURE_DEVOPS_CLIENT_SECRET,  grant_type: "refresh_token",  assertion: token.refreshToken,  redirect_uri:  process.env.NEXTAUTH_URL + "/api/auth/callback/azure-devops",  }),  }  )    // The refreshed token comes with a relative expiration time  const accessTokenExpires = Date.now() + newToken.expires_in * 1000 }
