How to integrate existing application users on to nodebb, so that they need not register again.

Dilip

I have a web application with 1000 odd users already registered. I installed Nodebb recently and i would like all these existing users to have presence on nodebb database as well. I am using redis as the database for both my application and nodebb as db0 and db1 respectively. As well as, when they login to the application, it should automatically login to nodebb as well. How can i achieve this?

You should be able to achieve this using this plugin. This should automatically log them in and create their account on the nodebb database.

You may also want to make an SSO plugin, so that users can login to your app from the nodebb log in form. You could also just redirect the login form to your apps form.

Can i also have a functionality where, when ever a registered user posts something, it should go through an approval process from the Admin, before making it public.?

Hello @thanh-huynhse ,
Any ideas? I also concern this matter. After using SSO It would create a user in Forum.

Thanks.
