So the only way now with the plugin is manual whitelisting? That sounds .. bad? cc @sam

Yep, it’s both to stay clear in the legal sense and to avoid getting spammed, if the system is tested out a bit more they might lift the restriction but who knows. It’s all very new.

[https://keybase-test.demo.discourse.org/](https://keybase-test.demo.discourse.org/) is up and running with the plugin deployed. Can you authorize that URL?

@emanuele the plugin is enable and installed.
Where in the UI I start the linking process ?

I am not sure what you mean with “linking process” 😄 this is what I would do:
The URL you have to provide to Keybase is `/keybase-proofs/config`, which will allow the site to be whitelisted, and from then, you can use Keybase to identify you on that server. The URL used to do the identification dance is `/keybase-proofs/new-proof` (but you won’t visit it directly, but through Keybase).
Please note again that the config lacks a required param yet, so the whitelisting might be rejected if not forced by someone from Keybase.
To review it, try to visit /keybase-proofs/new-proof with the required query params (check the tests to have an idea), so you can see the UI (which is… To be tweaked 🙂 )

Oh I see, so it is something that will always start from the Keybase site?
@kb_xgess I think it makes sense to have some sort of deep linking so we can add a button in the user profile and forward the user to the appropriated place in the Keybase website?

And how can we fix that?

I didn’t know where I can retrieve an SVG logo of the Discourse site. If it is somewhere, then just add a reference to it in the config (the “logo” field). If Discourse doesn’t provide one, then it is necessary to add an admin page from which the user can upload the svg logo.
(Sorry for the brevity, I am writing from my phone)

We don’t have a site setting to provide a SVG logo currently, so just hardcode the value to this image for now in the plugin:

Will do tomorrow 🙂 do you also have a black and white version of that svg? Both versions might be required by the plug-in, I think.

Yes. And once the identity has been confirmed, you’ll also see your Keybase identities in your profile page (connector: `user-profile-secondary`).

Amazing, [https://keybase-test.demo.discourse.org/](https://keybase-test.demo.discourse.org/) is updated with latest!
So now the only blocking is keybase? cc @kb_xgess 😉

nope! should be up and running now. although i didn’t look at your config changes; i took some liberties to get it to work. anyway, it’s hidden by default, but there are three currently non-existent keybase users you can create to test it out. they are `testdiscourse1`, `testdiscourse2`, `testdiscourse3`. so, if you signup with those names, `Test Discourse` should be a paramproof option. 🤞

Doing it now!
and it failed @emanuele
Also closing the error modal get me stuck at a blank page (just the header) with the location bar showing `https://keybase-test.demo.discourse.org/keybase-proofs/new-proof?kb_username=testdiscourse3&username=falco&sig_hash=longhashremoved&kb_ua=website`

That’s too bad ☹ Any way in which I can reproduce?
EDIT: probably found the issue. @Falco can you update to latest master and try again?

i think i see the problem. you’re using `domain` incorrectly. it should be `keybase-test.demo.discourse.org` not `https://keybase-test.demo.discourse.org` in the config (which i changed) and also when you pass it to the proof\_valid endpoint. check out [https://keybase.io/docs/proof\_integration\_guide](https://keybase.io/docs/proof_integration_guide).

@kb_xgess, @Falco, alright. I have removed “https://” from the config _and_ from the Keybase API calls I do in `lib/proof.rb` (to check for a valid proof).

Any way I could test it out using the official desktop client?
