Discourse + Auth0

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

discourse login

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 register a new Rails application, note: ignore the rails tutorial in Auth0.

  • Run in your discourse root folder:

$ rake plugin:install repo=https://github.com/auth0/discourse-plugin name=auth0 
$ rm -rf tmp public/assets
$ rake assets:precompile 
  • Login as an adminstrator to your discourse setting using one of the pre-existing auth plugins.

  • Configure the Auth0 plugin in the admin section

̇

  • Enjoy!

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!

TODO

  • Add a plugin UI on the Admin section ot configure the secrets, etc.
  • Add support for using Discourse Login user/password input to call Auth0 on AD/LDAP connections using auth0.js
