middleware

what do you mean? a client component that uses signIn instead?

check the user in middleware and redirect accordingly or https://next-auth.js.org/getting-started/client#require-session

thats my question, redirecting like this redirect('/api/auth/signin'); brings up a login page that the user has to click a button to sign in, i was asking if there is a way to have the same functionality as signIn("dscord") without having to have a client component.

try /api/auth/signin/discord

thank you i shall give that a try soon 🙂

@@ts-ignore Hi, thanks for the response. I tried what you suggested but unfortunately this results in an error: UnknownAction: Unsupported action. Read more at https://errors.authjs.dev#unknownaction

In the allowed auth types it says signin is allowed though, so im unsure why this is happening

If you're asking for signin functionality but not from a client component (ie by clicking sign in), you're going to find that to be challenging.

What is wrong with redirecting the user to the login page or to a login button to log in again?

friction, want it to be as simple as possible. I think what I'll do is just redirect them page that uses a client component so i can use signIn there.

Thank you for the responses 🙂
