Nodebb: SSO need improvements & fixes

Created on 12 May 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: NodeBB/NodeBB

Hi !

Can you made some changes to the SSO auth?

New options

_These options should override/replace the SSO provider plugin configuration_

  • Require username (bool): _ask for a username when this is the first connection with the SSO account_
  • Require unique username (bool): _check if the username is already registered_
  • Require email (bool): _ask for the user email if not provided by the SSO provider_
  • Merge accounts (bool): _merge the SSO account if the email match a current account, prompt for the account password to validate the user, if it's wrong reject the registration_
  • Custom icon (string): _Force icon for the provider on our register/login page (usefull when we want made full design integration)_

Fixes

  • Change the SSO menu name to SSO or Authentification unique into the french translation, the current name Authentification via les r茅seaux sociaux is really too long and wrong

Thank you!

In fact this issue is not a question, NodeBB require a true support for SSO without plugins. Simply because many services can be used in the same way and plugins are generaly unmaintained.

SSO is really an important part, plugins should be allowed only for externals services who's need some unused stuff by publics SSO servers.

Reject this feature and ask for plugins seem irresponsible, this feature don't need more than few hours to be implemented and well tested.

That last one you can fix yourself through Transifex.

Although I also hope that the official can support, but these problems can actually create a separate page to solve their own. e.g nodebb-plugin-sso-google
