Hi there! I have two questions that are related, hopefully someone can help :slight_smile: I’ve configured my Discourse instance to support OAuth via Twitter, Facebook, and Google. What I’m looking to do is the following: Scenario 1: User lands on /home (Python/Flask app) They want to sign up for a Discourse account. They get redirected to the appropriate OAuth flow, e.g. https://discourse.example.com/auth/google. Can I redirect them back to /home once they complete their registration? Scenario 2: User lands on /home (Python/Flask app) They already have a Discourse account. They want to sign in on the main app using OAuth in order to access some protected page. They get redirected to the appropriate OAuth flow. Can I redirect them to /user once Discourse has verified their account credentials? Please let me know if anything is unclear and I will be happy to elaborate! Thanks!

Thanks for the reply @rishabh! Unfortunately as far as I can tell the documentation doesn’t cover my questions. My OAuth configurations are working as expected, it’s only the additional functionality outlined in scenarios 1 & 2 that cause trouble. What I’m looking for is something along the lines of an optional parameter, callback_url, that would redirect the user to its target URL, after the OAuth provider has verified their account, and returned them to Discourse. I guess it’s sort of as if my Discourse instance acted as an OAuth provider in and of itself, for my Flask/Python app? E.g. https://discourse.example.com/auth/google?callback_url=https://example.com/home takes the user to Google, returns them to Discourse, which in turn redirects them to callback_url.

Just in case you haven’t seen it yet, our documentation is at Discourse OAuth2 Basic. Does that have some of the answers you’re looking for?
