I dont disagree..I use SSO as well, but not everyone does....

Hey guys,

I see that this forum's login page is using http, so passwords are going over the wire plain text....

Can you host this on https (and use a security cert) and do 301 redirects for http so passwords are transmitted in a secure fashion?

I'd hazard to guess that more than a few people who use this forum re-use passwords......

If you want some scalable DDOS mitigation, and CDN style caching you could implement Squid servers on EC2 that are set to auto scale when the traffic gets heavy.....

however this solution is not free....

As far as CloudFlare goes, I have had issues in the past (not just with nodeBB, but other services) where they have returned 500 errors, because their infrastructure went down...

All depends on what you are looking for, I will note that linode does have pretty good DNS management.

@julian Will do...I'll also look over your plug-in documentation later this week....thanks for the support!

@julian I took a lot at those plug-ins and I definitely think I can have something cooking by the end of the week or so....

Once I have it working, ill add it to npm......do you have a specific naming convention on npm?

Will do! Hopefully I have something soon....

Thanks @julian if you can point me to a similar SSO plug-in I guess ill start getting to work soon...

@planner Well if I didn't find something soon I was planning on writing one, however I did see a pull request on github that was closed a month or so ago with the code to do this....I believe it was closed because it was not written as a plug-in...

does NodeBB support LDAP log-ins in anyway shape or form...NPM modules or otherwise?

@julian I should...I'm a new nodeBB user (ie. Just installed it last night) still playing with it.

I see the potential for both user communities, and communities inside companies. I am a huge supporter of node.js, good to see more projects being made for it!

@julian fixed the typo thank you..I also tweeted about this blog post on my twitter account...

Hello all,

In-case you needed it, or was wondering...I have posted instructions for installing NodeBB onto CentOS 6.5 on my blog (Dont worry, it has no advertisements).
