Configuring oauth2 with doxology

I’m trying to configure oauth2 with doxology.

here’s what they say a request should look like:

GET https://auth.doximity.com/oauth/authorize?
  client_id=YOUR_APP_ID
  &response_type=code
  &redirect_uri=https://yourapp.com/callback
  &scope=basic%20colleagues
  &type=verify
  &state=SOME_ARBITRARY_BUT_UNIQUE_STRING

From the limited info I can get from their techs (“the api is not supported”), it seems that everything (?) is working except that the request Discourse is passing doesn’t include the scope. What I need, in terms of their example request above, is scope=basic%20email.

I’ve tried putting scope=basic email and scope=basic%20email and just scope=basic (which I think should at least give permissions to the ID, but is’ failing like this:

I got this info back from some techs:

Is there something obvious I’m missing?

The OAuth2 basic plugin doesn’t allow you to customize the scopes you want.

Were you adding it in authorize_options?

I believe we’d need to add a new option here based on site settings to pass custom scopes.

Thanks, Robin. That’s at least part of what I needed to know.

Yes, I was thinking that I could add that scope in authorize_options, but I’m inferring that’s not the case. Can you throw me a couple lines of code and I’ll see if I can fork it and make it work for them?

This is a group of physicians working to solve problems in Puerto Rico. Actually, they probably didn’t notice that they might qualify for your non-profit rate, which might make more sense for them than me (as I recall, they’d rather go with you in the long term anyway). At the budget they’ve given me I’m not keen on developing a custom plugin, but I guess it’s just a line or two and you can give me a hint, I can get them started with a proof of concept for their organization.

It looks like you can just use an oauth2 authorize url like https://auth.doximity.com/oauth/authorize?scope=basic%20colleagues – at least I’ve been able to use this approach to authenticate with GitLab :slight_smile:

(I’ve been unable to observe any effect of the oauth2 authorize options setting, so I left it at the default.)

I would try something like:

opts[:scope] = 'basic colleagues'

If that works, it should be extracted to a site setting.
