Does NodeBB provide support for a user database other than the one it builds in mongo? How would I integrate NodeBB with Keycloak?
-
Now that I've verified that a user registered in Keycloak can login to nodebb properly, what API call can I make to automatically log that user in, when that user successfully logs in to our application?
-
The thing about SSO is that it's being used as an authenticator (or is it an authorizer? I always get them confused). So we can't really automatically log the user in because we don't know they're logged in on your end.
However, something custom could be built, whereby if we detect a specific cookie, then the redirection happens? That'd be outside the scope of the plugin, however.

@julian i've discussed the limitation that says @ is not a proper username character with my team. We literally have requirements from our customer that say an email address must be a username. Would you guys be open to implementing a change, and allowing @? We are hoping that you see this as a sensible nodebb modification.

@David-Sargrad as it turns out it's likely more difficult than just a single change. It would likely conflict with the mentions plugin.
It's possible you could just adjust the regular expression locally until we are able to add this in for you.
Edit: it may conflict, we don't know

Hi @julian We have a bit of time in our schedule.. If we know that you are working to address this, then awesome..
Would you like me to generate an issue on the issue database? That way we can track resolution. -
@julian Perhaps I'll go ahead and write the issue on the login id, that way you guys can disposition it in your planned workflow.

hi, @David-Sargrad have you completed authentication using keycloak because I am also facing the same issues for the integration
