The discussion revolves around implementing seamless authentication for Discourse from an external site. dbp asks if it is possible to bypass the Discourse login page by sending authenticated user information directly to Discourse after a user logs into their own site. They aim to replicate the second half of DiscourseConnect, ensuring users are automatically logged in via a link from their primary site. Moin responds by suggesting that the user is looking for a specific guide on creating a DiscourseConnect login link, providing a link to a relevant Meta Discourse topic.
After our users have logged into our site, I want to provide them with a link to discourse. They have already been authenticated and so I essentially want to do the second half of DiscourseConnect, by sending the user information to Discourse and having them logged in automatically there.
In this scenario, the login page provided by discourse would be redundant. The only way to reach the discourse community would be via our site.
Is this possible? Any pointers would be appreciated.
