sso with jsconnect

beta

jsconnect testurl was successful, and it also works with the user after i place the users credentials in the index.php sample of jsconnect from github.
so now what next to make it work for all my users who are already registered.
Now what next to make it work for all users,
my uniqueid field in the db is user_id, profile picture is picture_id, name is username.

<?php
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/functions.jsconnect.php';
// 1. Get your client ID and secret here. These must match those in your jsConnect settings.
$clientID = "myclientidwashere";
$secret = "secretkey";
// 2. Grab the current user from your session management system or database here.
$signedIn = true; // this is just a placeholder
// YOUR CODE HERE.

// 3. Fill in the user information in a way that Vanilla can understand.
$user = array();
if ($signedIn) {
// CHANGE THESE FOUR LINES.
$user['uniqueid'] = '123';                                 //placed an id
$user['name'] = 'John PHP';                            //my username
$user['email'] = 'john.php@anonymous.com'; // i tried my email here and it works
$user['photourl'] = '';
}
// 4. Generate the jsConnect string.
// This should be true unless you are testing.
// You can also use a hash name like md5, sha1 etc which must be the name as the connection settings in Vanilla.
$secure = true;
WriteJsConnect($user, $_GET, $clientID, $secret, $secure);
JsSSOString($user, $clientID, $secret,$timestamp);

so please anyone to help with guidance on what to do next?

You need to pull the uniqueid, name, email, and photourl from your software. Populate it and you should be good to go.

yea thanks, it's how to get them, i populated it with the email,uniqueid and name of one user and it logs every user in with that same credentials, how do i make it in such a way it works for the user who is logged onto the site?

hgtonight

I don't know what software you are using for user management. You pull it from that software.

beta

yea, do i pull it with cookies or sessions?

I would contact the SocialScript support forum with your query.

Linc

However you detect whether a user is logged into your main site. Use that same code to validate the user here, and get their info from your system.

I don't want to look at it.

• To each their own, but I don't appreciate closed source in general
• You might not have the right to show me it (depends on the terms set forth in their license)
• I don't want to support paid software that I am not being paid for

Please contact Social Script support with your issue.

I am happy to help you out with any Vanilla issues.
