SSO Plugin questions

I'm working with this SSO plugin skeleton: https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-sso-oauth to create my own.

I want to add a check to see if the user who is trying to connect to this 3rd party is already logged in to NodeBB, if so I would like to disregard the email address provided by the 3rd party sso and just add the other fields from the sso provider to his profile.

The reason for this is becuase whenever a user is already logged in and tries to connect via SSO and that he is registered in that 3rd party with a different email address, NodeBB will create a new user.

I can see that I need to add a check under the OAuth.login function but not sure how to check if there's currently a logged in session for this user.

Thanks! It is the right step toward allowing for images being saved on the server vs imgur. That's why I am using it among other reasons as well. 😛

As per https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/2578

The properties id, name and description in plugin.json will be phased out in 0.6.1.

You can still have them but the values from package.json will be used.

No, that's not what his plugin does. It just redirects searches in your NodeBB to Google.

I am guessing on all of this, never done it before

It sounds as if you want to override the local login strategy rather than provide an SSO service.

To do this you need to provide a local login strategy to passportjs during that hook, just as the core does here:
https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/routes/authentication.js#L43

Instead of controllers.authentication.localLogin, use your own callback function. It is passed (req, username, password, next) just as it is here.

You would essentially the same thing that function does, but instead of using the local user info, use your own database to compare the username/passwords too.

If the login is successful, you need to create a local user and attach an ID from your database entry to the user's local database entry, so you can look that up when the user logs in again.

Also in the admin panel, change the registration type to none, so that users are required to have an account at your existing db.
