Run NodeBB along with my website using my website's auth system.

[kblade]

Hi,

I am creating a website for e-learning purposes on the MEAN.JS stack and want to add NodeBB as the community part.

But as NodeBB has its own authentication system and so does my website, is there a way to sync the two. I don't want to keep the NodeBB login/register system but only of my website and users logged into my website should be loggedin to NodeBB as well.

I have been going through the NodeBB code and haven't been able to figure it out. Can anyone help me with this please.
My questions are

• Is it possible to make NodeBB sync with my auth system?
• if so, then how can I go about with it, without modifying much of NodeBB?

Thank you

If you configured OAuth for your authentication system then you could use this plugin by @julian

Well to my knowledge that is

@xCausxn I am going to try out what you have said. But, I also wanted to know if this will work for Social logins on my website?

The users on my website can use Facebook, Google+ or local login to register to the website and use it. Now if I create the oauth system on my server, will it also be able to handle FB logins?

Sorry, I am pretty new to all this and still am figuring things out. Even if you can point me to the right direction, I'd be grateful.
