Supabase Authentication

Introduction

The Supabase Authentication module for Drupal seamlessly integrates Supabase’s powerful services into your Drupal site. This module handles user creation and authentication, leveraging Supabase’s scalable and secure authentication infrastructure. It extends Drupal’s native user authentication capabilities, ensuring that your site benefits from a robust, modern, and reliable authentication system.

Features

• User Creation: Automatically creates a corresponding Supabase user when a new user registers on your Drupal site.
• Authentication: Enables secure user authentication using Supabase, providing access tokens for enhanced API security.
• Easy Configuration: Configure your Supabase Project URL and API Key directly through the Drupal admin interface.
• Detailed Logging: All activities and errors are logged to help you monitor and debug with ease.

Important Notice: SMTP Configuration

Supabase’s built-in email service has limits that might restrict the number of users who can authenticate within a short time. To avoid these limits and ensure reliable email delivery, it’s recommended to set up your own SMTP service using providers like Gmail, Mailgun, or SendGrid.

This configuration will help prevent issues with user authentication and email delivery, ensuring a smoother experience for your users.
