I see this message when I try to activate Discourse_id on my test system (3.6.0.beta2-latest): enable_discourse_id: You must configure Discourse ID credentials ('discourse_id_client_id' and 'discourse_id_client_secret') before enabling this setting. I use a local Oauth server for OIDC here (keycloak). Maybe the two methods are interfering with each other??

Yes, correct, Discourse ID is another IDP. @Tealk the sidekiq error is unrelated. Can you share the commit hash for your instance please?

ok. Then I would need a client ID on your IDP (for the public access workflow) or a Client ID and Client Secret (for the confidential access workflow). Another option: add Discourse ID as an external identity broker to the local IDP. For both variants a bit more info would be required :wink: …

[image] Thomas_Rother: Then I would need a client ID on your IDP (for the public access workflow) or a Client ID and Client Secret (for the confidential access workflow). Yes, each Discourse instance registers (under the hood) and sets up a client id and secret. [image] Thomas_Rother: The test instance is online at forum2.netzwissen.de [CleanShot 2025-10-20 at 11.44.37@2x] Now that I look at your instance, I see http/https errors. For ID to work, the site must be under https. This is probably your issue. @Tealk make sure your site is also working properly on https.

[image] Tealk: Sure here: 3.5.1 (c96aeda334) Does Discourse ID already work on forums that use the stable branch? I thought the was added after the release in August.

Ah, indeed, if you are on the stable channel @Tealk, you will have to wait for the next stable release for Discourse ID to be available for you. [image] Tealk: PUT https://rpg-foren.com/admin/site_settings/enable_discourse_connect Note also that DiscourseConnect is a separate feature.

Okay, then that’s confusing on the what’s-new page. Would it be possible to add from which version a feature is included?

That’s a good point. I have now updated the What’s New feed to only include this item for instances that aren’t on stable (and that have the commit in latest that unlocks Discourse ID). If you refresh your What’s New feed, you should no longer see this item in your instance on stable.

Yeah, I don’t see the news anymore I already have the settings in the Settings, should the setting be available before it’s implemented?
