SSO (maybe) specific issue

SSO Issue: TeoWneD is trying to implement Single Sign-On (SSO) with Discourse, but is experiencing issues. After setting up the SSO URL, secret, and enabling SSO, users are redirected to the team’s website for login, but not back to Discourse. vinothkannans suspects that the issue is due to the team’s website not following the required steps for SSO implementation, specifically not redirecting back to http://discourse_site/session/sso_login?sso=payload&sig=sig. TeoWneD has confirmed that they only filled out the three admin settings and not implemented the required request from their website to Discourse’s, which may be the cause of the issue.

Hi, i’ve succesfully installed discourse on my team’s website. And i’m now trying to remove the login/pssd of discourse and use the login/pssd of my team’s website. Which as i understood it, is called SSO.

So i’ve tryed to install it with the official documentation : Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)

Before explaining the issue, i may have to give few element of the context.
Our website has a first wall to stop people from accessing our website ( we are’nt in prod yet ). Then you acces the ‘real’ login.
I have fill settings like this:
enable sso : on
sso url : the url of the page of the ‘real’ login.
sso secret : a secret key.

An account with the similar mail adress is already on my team’s website AND on our discourse.
But when i try to log in ( as there is no more create account ) it ask me to log on my team’s website, so i do it, but then it doesn’t redirect me on discourse it just connect me on my team website, if i try again going on discourse, it ask me again to login and etc.

I may understood something wrong ( english mistake or an option that i missed ) Could you help me please ?
I added logs about sso if you need it ( i did’nt understood something usefull from them but still).

Ohhh, ok i thought i only have to fill the 3 admin settings. I talked with my team and they told me that as they understand it they have to write request from our website to discourse’s, taking care of the syntax, ( because our user infos are’nt 100 % exact as your ) that’s it right?
