Hi ! I’m really interested in Discourse for my ecommerce platform.
It would provide a great helping section for my users.
I’ve seen that Discourse has it’s own Auth methods. I was wondering if I could modify these in order to enable logins/registers through my platform (only).
Do you think it’s a great idea to split auths for better user management ?
Thanks for your answers.

Thanks for your reply. This topic is interesting. I imagine that someone already thought about Django-SSO so it shouldn’t be that hard to link Discourse with it.
I’ll keep your informed if I found my way into this.

> @vinothkannans Thanks for posting that link. However, it isn’t available or is private. Do you know if that example for sso with Django is available publicly? @bartv any links / more thoughts you could share on examples of sso between Django \<\> Discourse Thanks!

Did you find a way to link django auth with discourse? I’m trying to do the same thing (using dj-rest-auth with allauth and django rest framework)
