PHP and WordPress Single Sign On (SSO) with optional JWT Addon

KjayCopper

Hey guys,

I am not gonna lie. I am a massive newbie when it comes to composer and I still don't really understand it. I am surprised I can install flarum and extensions.

My current web app uses no frameworks like laravel or composer.
I would like to link my current web app with Flarum so that it's easier for my members to have just 1 account.

If there any way that this can be done without using composer?
Even if someone can convert it for me so I can implement me (I can pay a little for the inconveience)

Thanks

KjayCopper hi,
if you want to install the plugin for your main website without composer you can try via this website, that downloads it for you (however, it requires a subscription to download ipackages): https://php-download.com/package/maicol07/flarum-sso-plugin

You can also try to download the repo zip and also its dependencies, but then you would check all the use statement and edit them with your path, which may not be worth the time. If you still want to try, here's the repo: https://github.com/maicol07/flarum-sso-php-plugin

I recommend you to learn how to use Composer, since it's very easy and simplifies a lot packages management

Okay so I think I am getting somewhat somewhere.
However I hit a dead end

I do the login on my side and it doesnt return any errors however when I go back to the forum website it doesnt log me in. anyone know why this might be

maicol07

KjayCopper how is your setup? (Domain/subdomain or in a folder)
Can you check your browser cookies?

Note that if you're testing it on localhost you might have a few issues

I do have an access key on the cookies it jsut wont actually log me in on the forum website

KjayCopper have you checked the Troubleshooting page on the docs?
https://docs.maicol07.it/en/flarum-sso/plugins/php#troubleshooting

KjayCopper

I have followed what the troubleshooting is, if you have any other way to contact you I will send you the code

Hello, can this plugin use the login function of my own website? I don't want to use the login of the Flarum system, I want users to log in to my website/or webpage, and jump back to Flarum after the login is successful. @maicol07

Both websites are under the same domain name

maicol07

BILLFuYiWei hi, yes, that's the purpose of this extension

BILLFuYiWei

maicol07
about this links https://example.com/login.php?action=register
I don't know how this login.php works? I am very confused,

BILLFuYiWei

maicol07 I wrote this page on my own page with vue, my logic is 1. Jump from flarumt to the login page —> login page (vue) to get the user token, set the user token to the flarum website cookie ---> return to flarum website, but the user did not log in successfully

maicol07

BILLFuYiWei these are the default value for WordPress. Let me quickly explain you how this works (for more details, check the docs):

This extension manages the Flarum login form and the authentication (when it is successful).
You need an additional plugin installed on your website (currently only PHP and WordPress are available) that logins and redirects the user to Flarum

maicol07

BILLFuYiWei that doesn't work. You'll need to use a plugin for login to work. What is your server side language?

BILLFuYiWei

BILLFuYiWei I have solved this problems

BILLFuYiWei

maicol07 I see. I thought it could jump to any web page 。。。。

BILLFuYiWei

maicol07 The front-end language is VUE and the back-end language is JAVA

maicol07

BILLFuYiWei basically, when the user submits the form and you login him, you should call the website plugin to login into Flarum

maicol07

BILLFuYiWei oh well, Java isn't currently available as a plugin. However, you can write one following how the PHP plugin works.

BILLFuYiWei

maicol07 Do you know there are other ways to allow users to log in? The background acquisition of user-token has been implemented. How to interact with Flarum to keep users logged in?

maicol07

BILLFuYiWei currently, the best way if you want to stick with user token is the one I use in the PHP and WordPress plugins.
If you want a better system, there is my premium OIDC extension which allows you to login into every OIDC provider (language and framework agnostic). I don't know if you already use it, but you can setup a provider with one of these libraries (certified by OpenID): https://openid.net/developers/certified

BILLFuYiWei

maicol07 I've read about this before and it doesn't feel like it applies to my forum.
