SSO with forums

[mikeamcbrien]

So many communities would love a system that would allow sso from their software, like forums, Invision Power, vBulletin and eve wordpress.

Allow a mechanism for Single Sign On from any of these systems could be a huge benefit to any of the communities involved and their real time communication needs.

and API that would also allow simple information, like #of users chatting, online, active, etc for pulling to the website would also work great in tandem with this feature.

+1 I would love this feature. I would like to use it with a CAS server, like this one: http://rubycas.github.io/

Guys, just so I can understand and see if we can make this into our v1.0 release.

Is the SSO part important? Or just the OAuth or SAML part?

I mean, is that important that the user is automatically logged in, or it is enough for now that he can just use the same username and password without the need to re-register?

We could use soemthing like https://atmospherejs.com/natestrauser/accounts-saml

Or

We could create a generic oAuth package that can be configured to connect to Wordpress and alikes if they have something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/oauth2-provider/ installed.

I think is more important that the user be automatically logged in, because
it will be a seamless flow when you integrate more projects together.

May I suggest an adapter approach? This would allow developers to write authentication methods for their different platforms, and take a lot of the burden off of you guys.

We discussed this in chat. @graywolf336 mentioned this. But I find it a great idea, and want to make sure its with the issue.

[graywolf336]

Yes, I think the adapter approach would be one of the best ways to go about this. It wouldn't be a seamless flow as others have mentioned in here but it would make it so only one login is required across several platforms (at least in my regards). There are a vast amount of solutions out there which can be hooked into via an adapter to try and meet the needs of them all, which is where the adapters would come into play. I use Xenforo and would be nice to use that as the system which my team uses to log in with.
