I’ve been searching for a bit trying to find out how I could log users in using their forum details in my c++ application. But I haven’t found anything, I did find a post that had a js app thing that did something similar but I have no idea how I can get the correct csrf token.

You’ll need to implementing [DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourseconnect-official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045) in your app.

The link I provided describes how to do just that. You can configure your app to authenticate with discourse.
