I must be blind or something… :see_no_evil_monkey: Cannot find discourse_id_client_id and discourse_id_client_secret in the configuration of my sites. Only Enable Discourse ID. :man_shrugging: Any idea?

Yes, that was it! Until now I had ProxyPass /.well-known ! which I changed to ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge ! Maybe this should be added to the howto (which I’m unable to find at the moment…) for setting up self-hosted Discourse instances? RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https" ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /.well-known/acme-challenge ! ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/ Thank you guys for being so patient with me. :slight_smile:

Is force https enabled? [image] How to enable discourse id login in my site SSO it worked when i enable force https reference

Yes it’s enabled. I checked that.

You just need to enable it and the secret and id are auto generated. There’s a rake task that you run to make it connect to the central server and create keys. That’s your the key and secret get created. I don’t see it documented anywhere. It should be easy enough to find in the source, but not so easy that I can find it on my phone after 5pm

Really? :laughing: OMG… :smiley: [image] pfaffman: I don’t see it documented anywhere. Me neigher. I wonder if anyone who’s running a self-hosted Discourse has set this up, yet. :wink:

rake discourse_id:register No. I just tried it on a site that is up to date and simply enabling the setting generates the keys. I think that the rake task was required for a while before it was publicly announced and now enabling the setting requests the keys automatically, which makes much more sense than having to run a rake task.

Thank you, but this did not work: Plugin name is 'discourse-docs', but plugin directory is named 'discourse-knowledge-explorer' rake aborted! Don't know how to build task 'discourse_id:register' (See the list of available tasks with `rake --tasks`) Did you mean? discourse_ai:install:migrations /usr/local/bin/bundle:25:in `load' /usr/local/bin/bundle:25:in ` ' (See full trace by running task with --trace)

Is your forum up to date? Did you try simply enabling the setting from the UX? I just tried it on a site that is on the last beta release.

[image] pfaffman: Is your forum up to date? About a week, maybe two, since the last rebuild.

Did you enable it? When you do it will generate the others. You don’t need to dim them out yourself.

I did enable enable_discourse_id and got an error (in German): enable_discourse_id: Du musst die Discourse-ID-Anmeldedaten („discourse_id_client_id“ und „discourse_id_client_secret“) konfigurieren, bevor du diese Einstellung aktivierst. It says that I need to configure discourse_id_client_id and discourse_id_client_secret before ticking enable_discourse_id. So it is a kind of hen/egg problem at the moment. :wink:
