Problem when using SSO with Embedding plugin

x1a0 · February 2013

I am currently using Vanilla with a Drupal site. The SSO works fine with jsConenct. I set Vanilla to use only SSO so user accounts can only be created on Drupal site.

Then I embed vanilla into the Drupal site, which also works fine. Except, if a visitor comes to the forum page and trigger any login/register link, my Drupal login/register page will be opened inside the iframe. So it ends at a Drupal-in-Drupal page...

Is there any way I can set all those login/register page to open in current page (i.e. to set target="_parent" for the )?

I ended up with directly hacking into jsconnect plugin - would be better to have this as an option in plugin admin UI though:

@1a0 Were you using the embedded SSO? (With the window.vanilla_sso object?) Can you please post the php code you used to generate the vanilla_sso string?

Thank you,
