Hi, I have a database with username and password and I want use DiscourseConnect for use existing users account on Discourse forum. I don’t understand how retrieve the email and the password that user input info the login form of Discourse. Into my sso endpoint I receive the query parameters: ?sso=XXX&sig=XXX But i need to receive username and password for check into the db…

You will need to create a small web service that connects to that database, and when receives a redirect with those parameters prompts the user for username and password and then redirects the user back to Discourse.

Ok, this means, when discourse redirect to my web service i show a login page? I thinked discourse use his login, and redirect to me after user press on login button

Ok! now I have undestod! :grinning:
