Hi. Brand new to Discourse. I have an app running on AWS, which uses Cognito for authentication. I want to link this app to my new Discourse hosted forum. I’ve got a good start, but I’m hoping somebody can provide guidance on the final steps to do this. The goal is to make the login experience seam…

Hi @JQ331 :wave: [图片] JQ331: auto-logs me in after checking with Cognito Auto-login is only supported if your site is private (has the login_required site setting enabled). [图片] JQ331: they should see a button that they would click that would redirect them to my app’s login That shou…

@david , thanks very much for your reply. This is helpful. [图片] david: Auto-login is only supported if your site is private (has the login_required site setting enabled). Where is this “login_required” site setting? By “private”, do you mean users can only view the site content if they are l…

[图片] JQ331: By “private”, do you mean users can only view the site content if they are logged in? Obviously that’s not what I want here. I want it just to be where you have to be logged in to post, and the only way you log in is through my separate app. In that case, auto-login is not current…

Cool–seems like I’m pretty close. Just to confirm: I want the following to be the case: Everyone can read site content (logged in or not) Only logged in users can post. If you are logged in to my app, when you go to Discourse, it talks to cognito, and automatically logs you in, enabling you to po…

[图片] JQ331: Are you saying that (3) is not possible? You’re saying that, for some reason, auto-login ONLY happens if the site content is hidden to the public? I think maybe we have different definitions of ‘auto-login’. Discourse can connect to an OIDC provider for login. This process is sta…

Cool. Thanks! I’ll take a look at that API doc. Sounds like that is very promising. On the “auto-login” thing–seems you mean “auto-login = automatically send the user to a login screen”. So sounds like what you are saying is that when a user goes to my discourse forum, there are two options: Optio…

[图片] JQ331: Isn’t there a way for the Discourse forum to check with Cognito, and adjust the user’s login status without having the user have to go through a separate login process? It is technically possible in the OIDC specification, but unfortunately Discourse does not currently support it. …

Hmm. I have heard that there are two ways to do the link between Discourse and a separate auth provider like cognito: the OpenId Plugin, or using Single Sign On for discourse. I’m not familiar at all with the Single Sign On process, but could that be a way to do what I want–avoiding having users lo…

这在 OIDC 规范中技术上可行，但不幸的是，Discourse 目前尚不支持该功能。
