Hello I’m working on a website with django CMS. I would like to link the user accounts of my site to discourse. In the first sept, I wish understand the différence between SSO and Oauth2 I thought it was the same thing, but there are two tools, so it can’t be the same thing. Thanks

SSO, when activated will be the only way to log in. oAuth2 can be one of the login methods, like having the option to login with oAuth2 and Facebook and local password. SSO also provides more functionality, like receiving bios, avatars, group membership, etc.

Jumping in as I also need some clarifications about this. Is there any way I can enable SSO with OAuth2? My identity provider has all the configuration to set up OAuth2, like oauth2 client id, oauth2 client secret, oauth2 authorize url, oauth2 token url, oauth2 user json url, information paths to t…

I believe we had a customer with a single oAuth 2 provider, so we forced it through rather than making the user pick from a menu of … one item … as I recall @sam worked on it but I may be mistaken.

Ah right! When login in that happens, I kept thinking about creating a user, which after OAuth2 comes a user creation dialogs shows up. I guess I want the SSO flow as ideally, the user should not need to create an account again. I will need to see what can I do. Auth0, the identity provider I use, …

[image] leog: Auth0, the identity provider I use, does not seem to have a clear path to hook up SSO in a straightforward way. Have you seen: [image] GitHub - auth0/discourse-plugin: Discourse plugin to authenticate with auth0. Discourse plugin to authenticate with auth0. …

Definitely tried it: Customize login modal · Issue #20 · auth0/discourse-plugin · GitHub . :+1:

[image] sam: Yeah if there is only one way to login we bypass a screen so you don’t have to “click” and then “click” when logging in. One big difference that bothers me is: When using SSO, and login required if you go to the forum home, the login process starts automatically. If you hav…
