Authentification from external applications


nostrora

Recommended Posts

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

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.
