Special thanks to @dashohoxha for his help!! Continuing the discussion from OAuth2 Basic Support: I will use this thread to document my steps and progress in integrating Discourse and Drupal via OAuth2. At present, the status of my implementation is WORKING. Installation on Discourse: For installation on Discourse, do the following: Install OAuth2 Basic plugin as per this thread. See Install a plugin for details on how to install a plugin Configure OAuth2 plugin: You should see an “OAuth2” section in “Login” in Settings when logged in as an administrative user. Enable “Custom OAuth2 is enabled” Set client ID as “discourse”. Create a client secret that is a random series of letters and numbers. You can use apg -a 0 -m 20 to generate one. oauth2 authorize url: https://DRUPAL/oauth2/authorize where DRUPAL = your Drupal site’s base URL oauth2 token url: https://DRUPAL/oauth2/token oauth2 user json url: https://DRUPAL/oauth2/user_profile.json oauth2 json user id path: uid oauth2 json username: name oauth2 json name path:[ You can leave this blank] oauth2 json email path: mail oauth2 email verified: [Check this on] When you hit ‘login’, you should now see a ‘login with OAuth2’ option. Installation on Drupal Install the following plugins: OAuth2 Login Provider OAuth2 Server Services REST Server Add client at /oauth2-servers/manage/oauth2/clients Call the client discourse Enter the same client secret as above Set Redirect URIs as http://DISCOURSE/auth/oauth2_basic/callback where DISCOURSE = your discourse forum’s base URL Status and Known Issues: If you follow the steps above, you should see a “with OAuth2” badge on the login screen. Clicking on it should redirect you to your Drupal site for login that asks “Authorize discourse to use your account?” Clicking “Yes” results in either association to an existing account with the same email or creation of a new account with that email. STATUS: WORKING KNOWN ISSUES: Must be authorized with each login. Does not honour ‘groups’ / ‘roles’ tarek : )

This is correct. Quoting directly from the install guide for OAuth2 Basic: [image]Discourse OAuth2 Basic It will require a Redirect URI which should be: http://DISCOURSE_HOST/auth/oauth2_basic/callback

OK, there seems to be some good information from the maker of the Drupal plugin (@dashohoxha) in response to my filed bug: So, I will look and see if there’s a way to make this POST instead of GET. tarek : )

It appears that there is no way to force POST instead of GET. I have filed this as a bug. UPDATE: Bug invalid. Refiled as a bug in OAuth2 Basic tarek : )

[image] tarek: So, I will look and see if there’s a way to make this POST instead of GET. Near the top of the other thread about oauth2, I saw something related to sending the header “Authentication: Bearer ” to the server. Maybe this is what you are looking for. Otherwise you have to look at the code or ask the other guys about how it works, and maybe fix it.

This is an option that doesn’t seem to change the GET vs. POST behaviour. I just tried. tarek : )

@dashohoxha Would you consider adding GET support to OAuth2_loginprovider? I have filed a bug with OAuth2 basic to ask for them to add POST support. tarek : )

I can try it, but I am not sure whether it will work and how long it will take.

Excellent!! In the meantime, I am trying to get a Ruby dev environment to figure out how to do this. tarek : )

Ok, I have success!!! However, @dashohoxha, I’m not sure how to figure out the output of user/profile in OAuth2_loginprovider.. Could you give me some advice? See Discourse OAuth2 Basic - #65 for the patch to make this work. tarek : )

Are you sure that this is the correct Redirect URI?

What does it do? Where is its code?
