How to run next-auth on seperated frontend and backend servers with express.js

[casparwamik]

Hello everyone,
The issue is the following: I have programmed a MERN full stack application, the frontend is a NextJS application, the backend is an ExpressJS API.

The problem: I would like to use next-auth for user authentication, with jwt tokens. Since I also plan to add more frontend applications later (React-Native), I wanted to strictly detach the backend from the frontend and run it on its own server, also to have single points of failure.

How can I run next-auth in my FullStack application on separate frontend and backend servers, and integrate it into an express backend?

I already looked at this post, tried it, however it didn't work (probably due to new version?).
