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.

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.

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 …
