Features

We know that Discourse does not have an official solution for using Discourse as a Provider for Oauth2/OIDC.

In order to better implement the service, and to allow people to bring more ideas into NL, NL has implemented a version of Oauth2/OIDC that users can apply for themselves, based on Parkour-Vienna/distrust: Use discourse as an OIDC (OAuth 2.0) provider.

Configuration

I use Mysql to store user-related data, so the specific edible method is, first install Mysql/MariaDB, execute the Sql script to build the database; then configure distrust.yml, set the database related content, and then execute distrust genkey, generate the corresponding rsa key.

Then go to the Discourse background to create then go to the backend of Discourse and create a discourse connect provider, and write the relevant information into it.

Then execute

chmod _+x distrust
./distrust

Visit your IP:3000/apps to see the application interface.

Demo

When user use Oauth2/OIDC login.

This seems to be the piece I was looking for but I’m not technical, so I will patiently wait until someone looks into it
