How disable general local login strategy

[julian]

@kevinprotoss Lavender is a child theme of Vanilla, so if the template is present in lavender, it will overwrite vanilla. Likewise, if the template doesn't exist in Lavender, then Vanilla's .tpl file is used.

@julian I see. That's what I mean. If I wanna completely disable the /login and /register route for NodeBB, must I modify the source code of NodeBB? Is there any other possibilities?

[julian]

You can comment out these lines, and also these lines

I thought about adding an option to toggle turning on and off the login routing and template, but I'm afraid it would be too easy to lock yourself out if your SSO login stopped working altogether.

[kevinprotoss]

@julian Thanks your cue. You are absolutely right. If it's just a toggle, then it will be a dead lock. Is it possible to make it as a bootstrap config?

[kevinprotoss]

@julian Is it possible to just add a toggle in the plugin's admin page and works only for this plugin. If the oauth2 server is down, just remove the plugins temporarily. I have a doubt whether NodeBB has already a safe mode start, this means starting without all the plugins ?

[julian]

@kevinprotoss That's a good point -- we do, actually. ./nodebb reset will disable all plugins and reset the theme to vanilla. We can easily extend this to also re-enable local logins as well.

Okay, let's make it an issue.

So, I just spotted this option in the ACP.... Needless to say I've managed to lock myself out. Help? Anyway to turn it back on from Terminal? (Not on a live server, don't panic)

@a_5mith ./nodebb reset settings

Thank god @baris accounts for people like you @a_5mith

Well, that was embarrassing, thanks @baris.

@julian, someone's got to test these sorts of things. All good now.
