No login methods when using Discourse Connect only

zogstrip · July 10, 2025, 5:01pm

Tried locally and it worked fine.

As soon as I enter the topic page as “anon” I’m being redirected to the /sso endpoint which then redirects to the local “discourse connect” I have setup & configured (on localhost:5000).

When I try https://community.adn-soft.com/t/-/69

I’m being redirected to the /login endpoint

Looking at the code, and especially the redirect_to_login callback, I can see we’ll only redirect to the /sso endpoint when both “discourse connect” is enabled as well as the “auth immediately” site setting

            raise Discourse::InvalidAccess.new unless SiteSetting.wizard_enabled?
          end
          
          def destination_url
            request.original_url unless request.original_url =~ /uploads/
          end
          
          def redirect_to_login
            dont_cache_page
          
            if SiteSetting.auth_immediately && SiteSetting.enable_discourse_connect?
              # save original URL in a session so we can redirect after login
              session[:destination_url] = destination_url
              redirect_to path("/session/sso")
            elsif SiteSetting.auth_immediately && !SiteSetting.enable_local_logins &&
                  Discourse.enabled_authenticators.length == 1 && !cookies[:authentication_data]
              # Only one authentication provider, direct straight to it.
              # If authentication_data is present, then we are halfway though registration. Don't redirect offsite
              cookies[:destination_url] = destination_url
              redirect_to path("/auth/#{Discourse.enabled_authenticators.first.name}")
            else

By default, that site setting is enabled, but when I disable it, then

So my guess is that you have that site setting disabled and you should enable it to make it work

Note: I’m not entirely sure why this site setting exists, but I’m in the process of getting rid of it along with a bunch of other auth-related fix.
