Configure trusted domains
Summary: Managed Better Auth's trusted domain allowlist restricts OAuth and email verification redirects to domains you explicitly approve, blocking unauthorized redirects. Add exact production origins (https://myapp.com) or wildcard patterns (https://*.preview.vercel.app) in Console > Auth > Configuration > Domains. Localhost ports are pre-approved and need no entry.
Configure trusted domains
Section titled “Configure trusted domains”Add your application domains to enable secure authentication redirects
Add your application domains to Managed Better Auth's allowlist to enable OAuth and email verification redirects in production.
Why domains are required
Section titled “Why domains are required”Managed Better Auth only redirects to domains in your allowlist. This prevents phishing attacks and unauthorized redirects by ensuring users are only sent to your legitimate application URLs.
Without adding your production domain, OAuth sign-in and verification links will fail when users try to access your application.
Add a domain
Section titled “Add a domain”Console
- Go to Console → Auth → Configuration → Domains
- Enter your domain with protocol:
https://myapp.com - Click Add domain
Repeat for each domain where your app runs.
CLI
Add a domain with neon neon-auth domain add:
neon neon-auth domain add https://myapp.comUse neon neon-auth domain list and neon neon-auth domain delete to view and remove entries.
API
Send a POST request to the add trusted domain endpoint. Replace {project_id} and {branch_id} with your project and branch IDs.
curl -X POST 'https://console.neon.tech/api/v2/projects/{project_id}/branches/{branch_id}/auth/domains' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer $NEON_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"domain": "https://myapp.com", "auth_provider": "better_auth"}'Use GET on the same path to list domains, and DELETE to remove them. See Manage Managed Better Auth via the API for the full set of auth endpoints.
Note: Include the protocol (https://) and omit trailing slashes. For example: https://myapp.com not https://myapp.com/
Localhost is pre-configured
Section titled “Localhost is pre-configured”Development domains are automatically allowed, so you don't need to add them:
http://localhost:3000http://localhost:5173- Any
localhostport
Production domains
Section titled “Production domains”Add all domains where users access your application:
https://myapp.comhttps://www.myapp.com(if you support www subdomain)https://app.myapp.com(if using a subdomain)
Wildcard domains for previews
Section titled “Wildcard domains for previews”For preview environments with dynamic hostnames (for example Vercel preview deployments), you can add a wildcard trusted domain such as https://*.my-app-preview.vercel.app. One entry can match every preview under that pattern instead of adding hosts one by one.
Use the same rules as fixed domains: include https:// (or http:// where appropriate) and omit trailing slashes after the pattern.
Note: Wildcard patterns apply to the hostname segment you replace with *. Production apex domains (for example https://myapp.com) are usually still added as exact entries unless your wildcard covers them.
Common issues
Section titled “Common issues”Redirect blocked after OAuth sign-in:
- Verify the domain is in your allowlist
- Ensure you included
https://(nothttp://for production) - Check spelling matches exactly (including www vs non-www)
Verification link doesn't redirect:
- Verification links use the same domain allowlist
- Add the domain where users should land after clicking the verification link
