jsConnect Not Syncing Roles

alevicki · June 2012

I am using an Embedded Vanilla Forum and passing in a SSO token. I have included the following in the json:
"roles": "Member,Moderator"

But only the member role is assigned to the user. Is there something else that needs to be done to enable the roles to be synced via this SSO Token?

Bump. Any update? Did you figure it out?

Bleistivt · December 2014

Have you added

$Configuration['Garden']['SSO']['SynchRoles'] = TRUE;

to your config?

Alright, to continue this thread: I've edited the config, added roles to my JSONP response and still don't have it working. It DOES modify the roles, however. No matter what I do, it removes all roles and assigns just "Member". Any clue why?

I'm having the same problem... no matter i tries.... nothing works... I get registered with "Member" role only.
I added to config:

$Configuration['Garden']['SSO']['SynchRoles'] = TRUE;

I have added to sso:

$data = array(
                "uniqueid" => $user->id,
                "email" => $user->mail,
                "name" => $user->profile->name,
                "photourl" => $user->profile->getPhotoThumbnail(),
                "roles" => "myNewRole",
                "uniqueid" => $user->id,
            );

Nothing works... any clue?

Have you made the connection "trusted" in the connection settings page?

There was a typo.

$Configuration['Garden']['SSO']['SynchRoles'] = TRUE;

Should be

$Configuration['Garden']['SSO']['SyncRoles'] = TRUE;

sync or synch is a correct spelling. just variants of one another.

But only the config statement with the "h" is the one used in the code afaik.

as far as I can tell the config statement is still

as Bleistivt stated above https://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/222475/#Comment_222475

based on the code

// Fix the sync roles config spelling mistake.
if (c('Garden.SSO.SynchRoles')) {
    saveToConfig(
        array('Garden.SSO.SynchRoles' => '', 'Garden.SSO.SyncRoles' => c('Garden.SSO.SynchRoles')),
        '',
        array('RemoveEmpty' => true)
    );
}

and the word can be spelled either way in english.
But the config statement needs to match what it expects $Configuration['Garden']['SSO']['SynchRoles'] and it expects it with the "h"

unless you mean something else regarding the code.
