any luck setting SSO from thinkific to discourse?
We are using thinkific for online courses and would love to have users create account/log in on thinkific site and automatically signed on to discourse for the community feature.
Do I need to configure anything on thinkific site or the config on discourse site will do the trick?
I read the official SSO implementation post but am still not sure what is required for the SSO URL (discuss.example.com/discuss/sso)
any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you all this is by far the best option i found.
I am looking for an implementation as well, it seems thinkific’s documentation is for the ‘reverse’ of what we’re doing (ie we want thinkific as the source of auth truth, and they assume you have another source).
Hey @ethandrower. I’m having trouble because my solution logs in to thinkific only when the user logs in to Discourse. Since thinkific logs out when the browser closers, users have to log out and back in to Discourse to get logged in to thinkific. Did you solve that?
@pfaffman the way i did it, the user logs in to thinkific only (there is no discourse sign up/sign up process) You eliminate that by setting the SSO setting to a middleman server.
So it looks like User Clicks Login (on discourse) -> Your server to start sso process -> redirect to thinkific page to login.
There is a lot more work that goes into doing it this way, but it’s the only solution i could figure that would allow SSO from thinkific (where thinkific is the source of truth).
I started a blog post on this, and will try and finish it today, maybe it will be helpful for you.
لقد قمت بكتابة الإضافة المربوطة أعلاه؛ وهي تعمل مع بعض القيود (غالبًا أن تسجيل الدخول في Thinkific ينتهي صلاحيته، والطريقة الوحيدة لإعادة تسجيل الدخول هي الخروج ثم الدخول مجددًا إلى Discourse). أعتقد أنني أعرف الآن كيفية كتابتها بطريقة أفضل (إضافة مسار يستهدفه Thinkific لبدء تسجيل الدخول). إذا كان لديك ميزانية، فيرجى التواصل معي.
