Single Sign On

wuethrich

DEPRECATED - no longer actively maintained

This extension equips Flarum with Single Sign On. The workflow is based on this post. The extension is useful if you run Flarum on a subdomain but you want to use the login mechanism of your main website. A dummy main website is provided in the sample-website/ folder.

Installation

Create a random token and put it into the api_keys table of your Flarum database.

Go into sample-website folder and copy config.php.dist to config.php:

  cd sample-website/
  cp config.php.dist config.php

Open config.php with an editor of your choice and configure all settings.
Upload the Forum.php class and config.php to your main website and setup the Forum.php class. An example is given in index.php / logout.php.

Install and activate the extension. Fill in redirect urls for login, signup and logout.

  composer require wuethrich44/flarum-ext-sso

Now you should able to log in with your existing users.

Wordpress

This extension comes with a Wordpress plugin which allows you to login into Wordpress and gain also access to your Flarum
forum. In order to install the plugin execute the following steps:

Upload the sample-website folder into the plugin folder (/wp-content/plugins/) of your wordpress instance.
Rename it to a name of your choice (e.g. flarum-sso).
Copy config.php.dist to config.php and configure all settings.
Activate the plugin in the settings.

Install and activate the Flarum extension.

  composer require wuethrich44/flarum-ext-sso

Fill in the correct urls according to your wordpress instance:

Login-Url: http://example.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=forum

(The redirect_to=forum part is important as it will redirect your users back to the forum)

Logout-Url: http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=logout

Signup-Url: Depending on which plugin you use.
That's it!

wuethrich Nice job, im using your extension here!

The header-links are working well.

But i've just noticed if the anonym user clicks "Start a discussion" or "Login to reply" buttons, the default flarum's login popup is shown. How can we fix (or prevent) it?

Thanks for your time ?

remouk

wuethrich Thank you for doing this extension. I was waiting for it and I think I'm not the only one, this looks perfect.

wuethrich Upload the Forum.php class and config.php to your main website and setup the Forum.php class. An example is given in index.php / logout.php.

The Forum.php and config.php put on wordpress site root ??

Wa oh！ It't so wonderful !

Simply removing the sign up button doesn't remove the ability for users to sign up. The API endpoint is still open to register.

wuethrich

Davis You can close registration through the admin panel but I will take a look how I can disable sign up through this extension.

Nice!

Kyrne

A tutorial on how to set this up with wordpress would be greatly appreciated

sk16

Kyrne I agree, a wordpress guide would be helpful. This looks good but I have no idea how to set it up with my wordpress site.

wuethrich

Kyrne I don't have any experience with wordpress but I will try to spin up a test instance and post a short explanation here.

wuethrich

sk16 Kyrne Checkout the freshly made wordpress plugin ?

wuethrich See this message is too excited, I was WordPress users, has been looking for ways to communicate with flarum. There is a request, the next document can be better with the map, so that we can not understand these English.

neoneosa

I dont really understand how to do this sadly. Where can i find the config.php.dist and Forum.php?

jordanjay29

neoneosa Look here

wuethrich

neoneosa I can give you a hand on this if you like. Is your code from your website public available?

wuethrich

p0p3ye Oh good point I've missed that. Let me first do the Wordpress integration and after that I will take a look into this issue.

querty

wuethrich Nice ext. But it's important. please, change "Start a discussion" and "Login to reply" buttons

How do I generate a token?
Couldn't find anything searching Google.

wuethrich

dadiocoleman You can simply create a token from your command line:

strings /dev/random | grep -o '[[:alnum:]]' | head -n 30 | tr -d '\n'; echo

or just hit randomly on your keyboard...

Freddy

This is perfect timing! Kudos, and a massive thank you.

remouk

Seems to be doing exactly what it should!

Now waiting for a Flarum "production ready" release... Because if I don't I'm afraid it will break at one point.

What do you guys think?

Taco

remouk I agree!!
I really really really want to use Flarum!! It is sooo beautiful, but it is in its beta and it lacking core features. Hopefully it won't be too long before this becomes mainstream.
