I'm testing out Retool to build the prototype/MVP of an app.
Normally, I use Supabase and its auth services when I'm prototyping something quickly - is there any way to use custom authentication flows on Retool external apps? I also found it pretty confusing how to manage and customize the flows for external user signups on Retool. Any help/insights would be appreciated.
Hey @rgd, authenticating against Supabase before signing a user up should be possible. I would love to get your feedback and dig into this more. Will message you!
Hi @antonybello
Could you give a bit more info on how to achieve that?
Our goal is pretty similar to @rgd's one. We are going to build a portal for our external users. So we need to authenticate them not only on Retool but in our CMS as well. We use Directus CMS which handles user authentication with JWT.
So we need something like:
The user gets authentificated on Retool
At the same time he gets authentificated through our API and we receive a JWT token to use in consequent requests to our DB.
It is worth noting that we are on the Business Plan.
