  • I'm going through looking for options on the best solution also. Either mysite.com/forums or forums.mysite.com, I don't care, just need a good SSO before I start.

    Welcome to the community!

    I would suggest using jsConnect. Since you are using Java, you should check out jsConnectJava. Be sure to read through this post about implementing SSO: http://vanillaforums.com/blog/help/implementing-jsconnect-single-signon-on/

    The first step to success is reading the documentation.

    jsConnect is a plugin you install and enable in your Vanilla installation. jsConnect works by specifying a url that authenticates a user as signed in on your custom site.

    index.jsp is an example of how to use the jsConnect.java file. This outlines what you will have to do. You will have to place this file where ever it makes sense in your application and modify it to fit your situation.

    Both files are well documented.

    Good luck!

    The Settings page for the jsConnect plugin has the rest of the things you'll need to set up to make sure they're redirected to your signin/register pages.

    For future readers too: Definitely use jsConnect (current, maintained) over ProxyConnect (deprecated).

  • OK, i understand but please tell me exact what i have to download because i have like 3 or 4 jsConnect can you please give me links to what i have to download ? Thank you in advance !

  • Please and just tell me what were too insert because i really dont understand ... please help me
