nostrora 0 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi everyone, I have a forum and an Windows application I would now like this application to be able to connect to my forum to authenticate users (with the same login interface as my forum, username+password, facebook, twitter etc.). 1/ I'm a user of forum and i start the Windows application. 2/ There is the login window (the same as my forum) and I'm connecting to it 3/ Then my application is authenticated with user. Can you give me some advice on the right way to do this on Invision Community side ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gm Prodigy 24 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Well you can use this guide https://invisioncommunity.com/news/product-updates/43-sign-in-from-other-sites-using-oauth-r1058/ or add a plugin on your forums that generates a new key, when the user is signed in he sees this key and uses it to login on the application. You'd also make sure the user can click a button to regenerate the key. To help with brute force attacks you could generate 2 matching keys to login. There are many ways of doing it.

nostrora 0 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Thank you, I'll look into the first option. The second one isn't very ergonomic. Edited June 15, 2020 by nostrora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
