Hi,
I wrote a message 2 weeks ago in the “Support” category ([Login page "/login" show "no configured method" - #2 by kev-is-coding-for-adn](https://meta.discourse.org/t/login-page-login-show-no-configured-method/372763/2)) but no one seems to have an answer for me.
Because I think this is a bug, I will post it here.
My setup is simple :
- Login required is enabled
- [Discourse Connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) is enabled (and working)
- Local logins and Local Logins by emails are disabled
From an anonymous session, if I go to the home page of my community ([https://community.adn-soft.com](https://community.adn-soft.com)), it will show the main page with the button to “Log In”. But if I want to go directly to any targeting page ([https://community.adn-soft.com/t/test-categories-sujet-et-etiquette/69](https://community.adn-soft.com/t/test-categories-sujet-et-etiquette/69)), I’m redirected to the “/login” page which says “No login methods”.
From my point of view, because I have only 1 login methods configured ([Discourse Connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true)), it should directly use it, or at least show the login page like the home page.
I think that instead of redirecting to “/login”, it should redirect to “/login-required”.
Is there something I’m doing wrong ?
Thanks for your help
Kevin

Tried locally and it worked fine.
As soon as I enter the topic page as “anon” I’m being redirected to the /sso endpoint which then redirects to the local “[discourse connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true)” I have setup & configured (on localhost:5000).
When I try [https://community.adn-soft.com/t/-/69](https://community.adn-soft.com/t/-/69)
I’m being redirected to the /login endpoint 🤔
Looking at the code, and especially the [`redirect_to_login`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/16955d5dc49d99f8cf578a1222000a48b65d9443/app/controllers/application_controller.rb#L739-L758) callback, I can see we’ll only redirect to the /sso endpoint when **both** “[discourse connect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true)” is enabled **as well as** the “auth immediately” site setting

By default, that site setting is enabled, but when I disable it, then
So my guess is that you have that site setting disabled and you should enable it to make it work 👍

Note: I’m not entirely sure why this site setting exists, but I’m in the process of [getting rid](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/33072) of it along with a bunch of other auth-related fix.

Yes, you’re completly right.
But if I enable this behavior, then I don’t have any home page anymore.
Just for you to see, I have activated it right now.
If you go to [https://community.adn-soft.com](https://community.adn-soft.com), it will directly redirect to the sso provider without showing home page.

Edit : I just put it back to the previous state because I need this home page
