I’m trying out SSO for my Wordpress site and it seems that if you get the configuration wrong, you can get locked out of your admin account. Unfortunately, I am but a lowly publisher/admin. So the instructions here https://meta.discourse.org/t/sign-in-error-sso-may-be-enabled/15834 are no use to me. I am only vaguely technical - I paid a developer to set up Discourse on Digital Ocean for me. I know what SSH is, but I haven’t touched a command line for several years. I either need some real layman step-by-step instructions, or I’ll have to pay another third party to sort this out. Thanks in advance.

The way to deal with this these days is /u/admin-login. That’ll send you a link that you can use to log in and fuss with SSO settings from the web interface.

Good point I added this to the end of the site setting description for enable_sso (WARNING: can prevent anyone from logging in if not properly configured when enabled; also disables invites)

This is a configuration bug that you’ll probably want to get corrected, otherwise your users will also be able to bypass your SSO.

Thanks for the advice but I’m skipping SSO for the moment. Too complicated to set up for non sysadmin types like me.

There is a Wordpress plugin for this https://meta.discourse.org/t/wp-discourse-sso-plugin/23245

Thanks, yes I have the Wordpress plugin installed - it’s pretty intuitive, however I’m struggling with the Discourse settings, in particular the following: [imagen] I have set the secret key, but I have no idea what the SSO url is and the implications of the override settings.

You can read offcial instruction here [imagen] Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso) Integrations DiscourseConnect is a core Discourse feature that allows you to configure “Single Sign-On (SSO)” to completely outsource all user registration and login from Discourse to another site.

Many thanks for your help and encouragement. Finally managed to get SSO working!

Thanks, I got this work finally. It seems that my server works a little differently. Being a newb, I thought it might help others with the same issue: the irb command was giving me errors NameError: undefined local variable or method `irb’ for main:Object Instead I was getting this prompt after ‘rails c’ 1] pry(main)> This might as well have been in Sanskrit, but a little Googling told me this was an alternate to irb so I just entered the command: SiteSetting.enable_sso = false exit And that seemed to work. Thanks again!

Fixed the instructions for future travelers.

Appreciate help guys. Have ssh into my bitnami discourse stack and can’t get the commands to work. When I run rails C I get this error before I even get to running the = false command. Looks like your app’s ./bin/rails is a stub that was generated by Bundler. In Rails 4, your app’s bin/ directory contains executables that are versioned like any other source code, rather than stubs that are generated on demand. Here’s how to upgrade: bundle config --delete bin # Turn off Bundler’s stub generator rake rails:update:bin # Use the new Rails 4 executables git add bin # Add bin/ to source control You may need to remove bin/ from your .gitignore as well. Any advice appreciate as need to get the SSO turned off asap. Thanks!
