I have an application on localhost:3000 which does the sign up/in process. The user can do its job and once it’s done he gets redirected to xyz.localhost:3001 where his work can be previewed.  
It all working well but I’m preparing my app for edge cases. So I logged out of localhost:3000 and cleared site data from the Chrome dev tool Application tab. And after refresh the silent login kicks in but it fails because I logged out of localhost:3000 and the session layer is gone. Unfortunately silent-login redirects me to the following url:

http://aggregate\_quail.localhost:3001/api/auth/callback?error=login\_required&error\_description=Login%20required&state=someLongKey

and got back the following error:  
Callback handler failed. CAUSE: login\_required (Login required)

As I read upon the topic is should redirect me to Universal Login but it doesn’t.  
Can someone help me how to fix this edge case?

Auth0 version  
“@auth0/nextjs-auth0”: “^3.5.0”,

Kind regards,  
Gabor

Hi there @gabor.ottlik.hun ,

Thank you for the context 🙂

If you repeat all the test steps you described but _without clearing website cookies after logging out_, how does silent authentication behave? Where the user is redirected?

Apparently nothing different happens, still see the same content after logging out of localhost:3000 and refresh at subdomain.localhost:3001

So in the meantime I come across this page:

> **[Configure Silent Authentication](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/login/configure-silent-authentication#error-responses)**
>
> Learn how to keep users logged in to your application using silent authentication.

Where it suggests to redirect to the login page without the `prompt=none` parameter.  
And this is the bit I’m struggling with. I tried many thing without success.

* * *

After some try and fail I’ve got it right.

The following works in both scenario.

```auto
		'silent-login': auth0.handleLogin({
			authorizationParams: {
				prompt: 'none',
				redirect_uri: 'http://aggregate_quail.localhost:3001/api/auth/login',
			},
		}),

```

1. Login into localhost:3000 redirect to subdomain.localhost:3001 and successfully access to the content without directly loging in.
2. Log out of localhost:3000 clear site data/cookies of subdomain.localhost:3001 then it redirect to the Universal Login page.

One thing to note, you have to record http://aggregate\_quail.localhost:3001/api/auth/login as Allowed Callback Urls in the Auth0 app.
