Paul Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 How do you picture this working? A single sign on between Blesta and your forum software? Michael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I think ,new account registration sends the data from Blesta DB to the DB forum - login , password, id custemer (username) and email. Forum will send an activation link. domaingood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 This would be entirely dependent upon what forum software you use. This could be created as a plugin, or a modification of the order plugin. (Preferably its own plugin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 What would be nice is if Blesta built in a SAML authentication server (or something like that). Then clients could auth to one central place (Blesta) and from there they could log in to anything that supports SAML. Currently the shared login plugin does the exact opposite (allows you to login to Blesta from something else). Considering Blesta is somewhat the 'core' of any hosting business, I would like to see Blesta become some sort of authentication provider.

dweiruk Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I am thinking a ipboard bridge for logins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Problem I can see is there are so many different forum software, IPB, Xenforo, VBullentin are just the top three paid, then you have the free software like PhpBB, Mybb, Smf and a couple others. It would be great but also a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 My experience with forums though is just about everyone connects differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnboys Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Yes I can say though I built a api integration into ipb to check banned status via a api call and another api call method to tell the script calling if it should check for banned status or not.

You wouldn't have a universal one. In reality the shared login will allow you to create a plugin/module for any of the forums out there in order to do a SSO style login. From there you can also use the API to do whatever else you need to do with the user's account. It shouldn't take much more than an hour per forum as long as there was some boilerplate plugin/module framework as most of them do similar things for handling login hooks as most of your code is the same between them.

Paul Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 We have some docs on our shared login plugin here - https://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Shared+Login which may be a good starting point for any integration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
