When I tried to set up discourse in my local machine following the below article: Install Discourse on macOS for development. Set up is fine and the discourse is running locally. But when I enable discourse-connect to use discourse connect authentication following the below article: Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso) After this setup, if I tried to click on login button, am getting the error as follows :slight_smile: # NoMethodError in DevelopmentAuth::FakeDiscourseConnectController#auth undefined method `is_allowed?’ for #DevelopmentAuth::FakeDiscourseConnectController:0x00007f9e1e8ec3a8 Please help me to resolve this issue and make discourse connect work in local instance. I have also attached the error screenshot FYR. TIA [Screenshot 2021-06-04 at 1.05.31 PM]

Thanks for the report @Vairav_Lakshmanan, we’ll get this fixed up. In the meantime, you can disable this FakeDiscourseConnectController by creating a file in the config directory: config/dev.yml Inside, you need one line: auth_plugin_enabled: false Then, when you restart the server, the fake DiscourseConnect provider will be disabled.

You may take a look: [image]Fake authentication provider for development/testing purposes :philosoraptor: Note that this is the most insecure authentication plugin ever invented. Therefore, it will refuse to boot in a production environment, and you must set the DISCOURSE_DEV_ALLOW_ANON_TO_IMPERSONATE environment variable to 1 for it to work

We are actually trying to test SSO. So our requirement is the discourse which is running locally has to redirect to the SSO URL mentioned in the settings. The above-said redirection is not happening in the local environment. PS: We already enabled the “enable_discourse_connect” field and provided the “discourse_url” and also the “secret”. When we click on login we are getting the above mentioned error.
