Discourse Auth Proxy

This package allows you to use Discourse as an SSO endpoint for an arbitrary site.

Discourse SSO is invoked prior to serving the proxied site. This allows you to reuse Discourse Auth in a site that ships with no auth.

Usage:

Usage of ./discourse-auth-proxy:
  -listen-url="": uri to listen on eg: localhost:2001. leave blank to set equal to proxy-url
  -origin-url="": origin to proxy eg: http://localhost:2002
  -proxy-url="": outer url of this host eg: http://secrets.example.com
  -sso-secret="": SSO secret for origin
  -sso-url="": SSO endpoint eg: http://discourse.forum.com
  -allow-all: don't restrict access to "admin" users on the SSO endpoint
  -timeout="10": Read/Write timeout
