So my site is https://mysite.com. My next auth url is also the same. It works if someone goes directly there but if someone goes to https://www.mysite.com the auth wonâ€™t work.

Now I can change the next auth url to https://www.mysite.com and it will work but then auth will stop working for https://mysite.com.

I am so confused why wouldnâ€™t it work for both and why it differentiates between them. How to resolve this

you should be redirecting one to the other. not hosting on both.

Oh ok so I have to do redirect. I was confused because people can do either of those things and land on same page. I had thought that www doesnâ€™t matter. But ok will look into redirection
