**Is there an approach or module for having SilverStripe Members registered on a self-hosted Discourse forum automatically? **
I’m trying to make the solution seamless for people who are logged in to the site. THe discourse forum will be hosted on a subdomain of the main site similar to how silverstripe.org is doing it, I just don’t want members to have to register for each separately and hoping there was a standard approach for this.
For this particular project I ended up using Flarum and wrote a custom connector that created and/or logged in the Flarum account when the SilverStripe user logged in. To be honest it was a complete pain and not very robust.
Now can use Keycloak for SSO across everything, SS users get migrated automatically and OpenID and SAML SPs can be connected. Its complex but once set up it has been easy to add more services and streamline the user experience.
