Hello there, I have created a standalone ready-to-run OAuth2 Authorization Server with [Discourse SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) support for your needs. I believe it will be useful for some people.

Please give it a star if you like it, thanks!

This piece of software acts as OAuth Authorization Server for all modules in your ecosystem and has [Discourse SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) support. It also has upstream OAuth Client support, which means users can connect their Facebook, Google, etc accounts to OAuthly. Below diagram summarizes its use.

BTW, I wanted to tag this with ‘sso’ but couldn’t find the option.

Added!
ps: Looking into Your work
I Wonder what this Plugin does outside of the functionality that already exists in Discourse?

If your website or platform consist of multiple components (like www, store, forum, payment, email marketing, etc), this piece allows you to integrate users among those platforms via OAuth2 protocol. The functionality is comparable to Auth0.

So It’s basically a Central IAM Solution?
It’s not a Proper Discourse Plugin Though!
Why it exists under plugins then?

我们将技术上不属于 Discourse 插件的扩展程序放在了 #Customization > Extras 中。

It has [Discourse SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) integration in addition to being a Central IAM solution so I wanted to post here. I see a lot of people trying to integrate their components with Discourse and I think they would benefit from this. Feel free to ask questions about the usage and features.

Can You Share instructions on Installing it on Say A VPS?
I desperately want to give it a spin and see what advantages it has but The instructions look very much like local development scene.

I just updated the README on github. Before running this on a vps, you can also just spin off a local version and connect to your discourse on a vps. Since they only communicate through user agent (browser), it should work just fine.

Excellent. Have you checked out the updated instructions? What exactly do you need?
