A Passport strategy for authenticating using a Discourse forum

Update by Markus Liljergren (2022-05-04)

I'm also no expert at Passport, but needed a working version of this today and as such rewrote it to work for me. If you find any bugs or know of any best practices regarding Passport I should observe, I'd love to hear from you.

Usage

This implements the Discourse SSO functionality if you want to make another site use Discourse's authentication. I'm no expert at Passport - so please send pull requests.

See more on this protocol in this thread.

...
const passportDiscourse = require("./passport-discourse").Strategy

...

router.get("/auth/discourse_sso", passport.authenticate("discourse"));
router.get(passportDiscourse.route_callback, passport.authenticate("discourse", {
  successRedirect: proxyPath + "/auth/done",
  failureRedirect: proxyPath + "/login"
}));

if (auth.discourse_sso.enabled) {
  var auth_discourse = new passportDiscourse({
    secret: auth.discourse_sso.discourse_secret,
    discourse_url: auth.discourse_sso.discourse_url,
    callback_url: auth.discourse_sso.callback_url,
    debug: auth.discourse_sso.debug
  },function(req, accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done){
      usedAuthentication("discourse");
      done(null, profile);
  });
  passport.use(auth_discourse);
}
