Hi NodeBB Community,

I’m trying to integrate my website’s custom login system with NodeBB using the SSO plugin, but I’m running into issues during the authentication process. Users are redirected correctly to the login page, but after entering their credentials, they’re not being logged into NodeBB, and no session is created.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Configured the SSO plugin with my website’s API endpoints for login and user verification.
Ensured CORS is properly configured on the website’s backend.
Tested the API endpoints independently and they return the correct user data.
Could this be an issue with the plugin’s callback URL or how the session tokens are being handled? Any tips on troubleshooting SSO integrations with NodeBB would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello NodeBB community,

I'm facing an issue with configuring SMTP settings for email notifications in my NodeBB instance, and I'm seeking your expertise to help me resolve it.

Here's a brief overview of the problem:

Problem Description:
I have been trying to set up email notifications on my NodeBB forum, but despite multiple attempts, I am unable to configure the SMTP settings correctly. I have double-checked the SMTP server details, port, username, and password, but the email notifications are still not being sent.

Error Message:
When I navigate to the Emailer (SMTP) section in the admin panel and try to send a test email, I receive the following error message: "Failed to send email. Please check your SMTP configuration and try again." Unfortunately, the error message doesn't provide much detail about the specific issue.

What I've Tried:

Double-checked SMTP server details and credentials.
Tried different SMTP ports.
Verified that the SMTP server allows connections from the NodeBB server.
Checked the NodeBB logs, but couldn't find any relevant information regarding the email sending issue.

Additional Information:

NodeBB is running on a DigitalOcean droplet with the following details: Ubuntu 20.04, Node.js v14.17.0, Redis 6.2.5.
The forum is accessible without any issues.
Other functionalities in NodeBB seem to be working fine.
I would appreciate any guidance or suggestions to troubleshoot and resolve this SMTP configuration issue. If anyone has faced a similar problem or has expertise in NodeBB email configuration, your assistance would be invaluable. Thank you in advance for your time and support.
