Hi All,
I know that when SSO is enabled, it will be the only sign in method. But I don’t want that…
1. I’d like users from my university to have an option to login with SSO.
2. I’d like all users to have an option to login by creating a local account.
My University doesn’t provide an Oauth2 ID, so I can’t simply use OAuth2 instead of SSO. Any ideas? Or is this frowned upon for some reason?
Thanks,
GI

If you want multiple methods of login you shouldn’t use SSO.
You can write a plugin that implements your university login protocol as an omniauth strategy, following examples like [GitHub - discourse/discourse-linkedin-auth: LinkedIn OAuth Login support for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-plugin-linkedin-auth), [GitHub - discourse/discourse-steam-login: Allows user authentication with discourse via the Steam user API · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-steam-login) and [GitHub - discourse/discourse-plugin-discord-auth: A Discourse plugin to login over Discord · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-plugin-discord-auth).
That way you can have the plugin and local logins enabled at the same time.
