Trouble with jsconnect - "Test URL" works but I can't get the actual sign in to work
I am trying to create a single sign in for an embedded forum and I might very well be deep in over my head. As the title says I have gotten the "Test URL" working, but I can't get the actual sign in to work.
I am trying to trouble shoot it, it but I need help understanding how the jsconnect works.
First: I am not sure about what url I should have under "Sign in Url" (or "Register Url"). Is it the url for the "single sign in"-page (in my case joomla) or for my vanilla forum?
Second: I can't understand when the authentication URL is invoked. When I hold the mouse over the "Sign in with ..." I only see the "Sign in url" and when I have tried with my "single sign in" page the only result was that I ended up on the "single sign in" page, no user created or logged in. Am I doing something wrong, how should it work?
Sorry if I am not to the point, slightly tired Tnx in advance!

i'm having the same problem, a bit of hacking around got me past this point to where i now get the correctly formatted json when clicking sign in, but i have absolutely no clue as to where to go from this point. i've been racking my brain and scouring the internet.. if anyone has ANY #$%$%&%^& IDEA on where to go from here, i would build a shrine depicting them as the GOD they are.
Amen to that brother!
What I can't wrap my head around is how and when the "Authenticate Url" is supposed to be used. I thought that it some how would be used when clicking the "Sign In with your-site-name", but as far as I can see it only goes directly to the "Sign In Url" without activating / using the "Authenticate Url". I feel I somehow have completely misunderstood the basic configuration of jsconnect. Any one who can answer what triggers the "Authenticate Url"?
Feel free to have a look at actual site:

and view the Forum-tab.
My jsconnect-configuration:
Authenticate Url
http://174.132.160.34/~nsfswm/bearscorner/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4
Sign In Url
http://174.132.160.34/~nsfswm/bearscorner/index.php/component/users/?view=login
Register Url
http://174.132.160.34/~nsfswm/bearscorner/index.php/component/users/?view=register
I have precisely the same issue, and I can't figure out what's wrong with it... Watching this discussion, in case an answer is posted here.
