Discourse + Auth0

This is a Discourse plugin to do Single Sign On using Auth0.

Demo: https://ask.auth0.com

What do I get by using Auth0?

• Support for Active Directory / LDAP (see animated gif)
  • No matter if Discourse is on the cloud or on-prem, it will work transparently
  • Support for Kerberos too (configured by IP ranges)
• Support for other enterprise logins like SAML Protocol, Windows Azure AD, Google Apps, Salesforce, etc. All supported here: https://docs.auth0.com/identityproviders.
• Support for social providers without having to add OmniAuth strategies by hand. Just turn on/off social providers (see animated gif)
• Support for Single Sign On with other Discourse instances and any other application in your account (see animated gif.

Installation

• Create an account on Auth0 and open the application settings.

Using Discourse Login Dialog instead of Auth0

You can keep using Discourse Login dialog and integrate only a specific connection from Auth0. It will show up as another button like the social providers.

Go to admin site settings for Auth0 and change the auth0_connection with the connection name you want to use from Auth0.

Give admin rights to an email

$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails c
$ u = User.find_by_email('the-email-you-want-to-make-admin@whatever.com')
$ u.admin = true
$ u.save!
