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 m…

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.

Thanks for the swift reply, but as I said, I paid a developer to set this up. What I need are step-by-step instructions for Digital Ocean - where do I run these commands? Sorry for being a newbie, but I’m evaluating Discourse and need to find out if I can administrate this forum myself or whether …

Do you know how to login to your Digital Ocean VPS using a SSH client ?

I’ve never done it before on Digital Ocean, but I’m sure I could work it out. Can I use the Terminal on my MacBook? If so what info will I need to run the commands above? Many thanks

Yes. You can use Terminal on MacBook to login via ssh to your VPS. After login to your VPS. run these command # cd /var/discourse # ./launcher enter app $ rails c [1] pry(main)> SiteSetting.enable_sso = false [2] pry(main)> exit $ exit

thanks very much! However I managed to reset the forum without having to open a command line. By typing in the IP address, not domain name of my forum I was able to login and uncheck the SSO settings . Now the forum is back up and running. Many thanks for your assistance!

How did you even install Discourse without ever connecting to the server before? Anyway: Your mac ships with Terminal which lets you connect to the server too. Open it and type ssh <yourserver_IP_or_domain> and you will be able to log in as long as you didn’t use some private key when setting up th…

Thank you for the advice. FYI I’m a publisher, I don’t have a background in server administration - somebody else set the forum up for me. Whilst I’m pretty technical, I need to feel confident that I can’t ‘break’ the installation purely by changing some settings in the admin panel. This to me i…

Oh I see, that’s fine too, Discourse Is fairly easy to administer for non-technical people too. Back to Topic: the “Enable SSO” Option should have some sort of warning (Don’t enable this unless you know what it is for)

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)

SSO locked me out of Discourse!
