Single Sign On

I'm back at square one again. Now I can't get it to work on my official server. Got it to work on localhost though.

aidv This URLs should point to the login/signup/logout page of your main website. If you put in the correct URLs the buttons will work as expected.

The $forum->logout() function deletes the remember me cookie but not the session cookie (that's currently not possible). Therefore, you have to reopen your browser in order to completely logout.

aidv

wuethrich Alright. Could you explain to me why the extension needs to know these URL's? I'm curious ?

wuethrich

aidv This URLs are just for the links in the header. So for example if you click on the login button no popup will open instead you get redirected to your main site login page.

Hi, @wuethrich why not auto generate api_key (installation step 1)? and show up in admin panel.

wuethrich

liverbool I'd love to do that but I don't now exactly how. Could you give me some more details?

I have been able to set this up (almost succesfully) on my site. Logging in to my WordPress site via the forum successfully created a new user in the forum database. However, logging in to WordPress does not log me in to my forum. Any idea as to what might be the cause of this? I am running both sites over SSL (different certs via LetsEncrypt). I am wondering if that could be the cause. Thoughts? Thanks!

wuethrich

UaMV Mmh hard to say what's going wrong there. The forum should be a subdomain of the WordPress site otherwise it won't work. Could that be the issue?

UaMV

wuethrich I am running it on a subdomain. Maybe I'll have to try things over HTTP and see if that solves the issue.

wuethrich

UaMV Https shouldn't be a problem. Could you check if there is a flarum_remember cookie present under the subdomain?

UaMV

wuethrich Hmm. Looks like clearing all my cookies for both the sub-domain and primary domain allowed me to get a successful login. I'll do some more testing, but I might have it working. Thanks for the tip!

abhishek

wuethrich uner subdomain i.e on my flarum site flarum_remember cookie is not present but site where I create request for logged in it was creating the flarum_remember cookie. but after redirect to the falrum site it will only show flarum session cookie.
Now what to do.

querty

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

wuethrich

querty Yeah I know I missed that in my initial implementation but I'll fix that in the next couple of weeks so stay tuned ?

wuethrich

querty I just released a new version of the extension. Now everytime a login model is opened you will get redirect to the login page.

querty

Import of avatar. it would be great

Thanks for this. Like others have mentioned, I'm not sure I want to give it an immediate go at putting Flarum on a sub-domain with the WP install as it's still in beta and I am (as much as I would like to be) not a developer, so not sure if it would be stretching my time too thin to try and make it work right now. But I was looking around the forums here for signs that people had the same kind of thought process I had about making both WP + Flarum work and this is encouraging.

More than willing to donate and get involved when I can be best put to use in the community.

Hi @UaMV

How did you clear cookies for both sub domain and primary domain ?

I tried to use PHP unset() and setcookie('flarum_remember', '', time() - 10, '/' ).
None of them are working on my server. var_dump($_COOKIE) is always showing an unknown token on "flarum_remember"

Did you use javascript to clean the client's cookies on browser ?

==================== Update
Never mind. It was because of my browser cookie setting. I used the incognito mode on Google Chrome, and it started to work.

wuethrich nice work!
I have a question. Seems if Flarum DB already have a user with the same nickname or email as WP account it wouldn't login. Why this happens?

wuethrich

krombox If a user cannot be found in the Flarum DB, WP will create a new user with a random password. If a user already exists in the Flarum DB, WP cannot authenticate this user because WP doesn't know the password.

So it's not possible to login via WP with an existing user in the Flarum DB. But you can try to rename the Flarum user, then login via WP and copy the password hash to the old Flarum user. I know that's not a neat solution but it's the only way to reuse existing user.

Hi,

I have just tried to set up everything with my current wordpress website.
I am not sure if I can achieve what I want, if you can confirm:
- I have a website https://www.example.com
- I have a forum https://forum.example.com
- I use my wordpress user database to single sign on on ther tools,
- I want flarum to use this user database to handle login on the forum.

Currently with your plugin, when I setup a user into wordpress and that I want to login with this user on flarum, it redirects to the login page, accept the login/password and redirects to flarum homepage. But I am still disconnected on the forum and the user does not exist in the flarum database.

Am I doing it wrong or is it not something which can be done like that?

Thanks!

wuethrich

mTrax Basically the plugin should work as you are described above but it's hard to say what's going wrong. Could you please check if you set your API key correct or provide some more information?

mTrax

@wuethrich
In wordpress plugin, my flarum_api_key is the same random text that I have put in flarum database, api_keys table.
However when I set this key in the database, I did not encrypt it (the table includes 'function' and 'value', I only put the key in value without entering anything in function).
Still in wordpress plugin, I have changed the 'password_token' for something totally random. Do I have to choose anything specific here ?
I don't have more information right now, I will turn on debug mode and see if I can grab some information.

Not sure if it is pertinent but I am using nginx as webserver.

wuethrich

mTrax As I can see from your description everything should be fine. I can help you via TeamViewer if you like. Just let me know...
