How I implemented "Cross Authentication" with Flarum

Thaonguyenvan89

At the main site how I can set a cookie "flarum_remember" for Flarum.

Thaonguyenvan89 Get the user token and set it like any other cookie.

Thanks for the process. Is there an assumption here that flarum server & the main app server are in same domain? What if we want to show the flarum logged in another domain? (because we can't set the cookie/session in another domain from app in one, unless the other app does that for the first one)

Is there a way to directly login a user with a user specific token in GET params? The api allows creation of users, but what about their 'authentication'/impersonation?

Any example how to login to flarum with remember / cookie from the parent / cms site by php?

Somebody can give me a example of tuto for create GET or POST request to an api ? We use "Socket_connect" for PHP right ?
Edit : or with Curl ?

lupyo I've created a very simple API client that does not cover everything Flarum can do, but it is an API client in essence:

I've had to go through this exercise myself, and I've documented every step - creating new users, authenticating, pushing avatars across, and modifying Flarum's navigation to send users back to your main site.

woganmay Hi Thanks for your great tutorial. I am really new to PHP, and there are things that I didn't really understand. I am still not too sure where I should implement the coding, Is it should be in dispatch(new \App\Jobs\SyncUserToForum($user))? for create the user or active the user...and why we need $generated_password?
Do you have an example of code so I could get more idea about it please?
Thanks a lot!!!

woganmay I tried to follow your tutorial is great for the authentication and the registration process! Well done!

The problem come when I need to login, because once I get to the auth.php?token=12345 page, this is the message I get;

The page you requested could not be found.

Anyone had the same problem and managed to solve? 😁

I've built a simple extension which implements this workflow.

@AbhishekSagar Thanks for give me the idea how to implement SSO.

wuethrich good job with the extension.

OpenStudioOne if your website is built on PHP I recommend using the PHP plugin / sso extension here. The extension is installed on flarum normally, then you include the PHP plugin on your site and add a few lines in your existing auth function.

Hello @AbhishekSagar , your solution is work ! Thanks. I have one issue is my project is a multi tenancy project. and each tenant is work on different domain. so can I set token cookie from different domain to my flarum domain ?

Thanks!

I'm trying to implement something for this between my .net Core web site, and the flarum app.
site url: example.com
flarum: forum.example.com

Would anyone be able to diagram the workflow in such a way:

- Flarum

user opens site - clicks login
Navigates to my site
-My site
Executes login successfully
<Does it make an API call to some endpoint now for setting login cookie on flarum?>

etc.
etc.

Would appreciate a little more clarity on the process if possible. Thanks!
