Trouble configuring SSO with discourse-saml plugin / Okta

April 10, 2018, 11:09 am

≫ Next: Trigger a jquery function on post load

I’m trying to configure a self-hosted Docker instance of Discourse to authenticate users with SAML, using Okta as the IdP. At first my setup looked identical to what @runofthemill posted here: Discourse-saml + Okta endless redirect. But then, thanks @skoota, I re-set all the native SSO configs to the defaults, since I understand want to be relying just on the plugin.

So now plugin is successfully installed, and SAML appears as a login option, but I get this error when I try to use it:

I took a look at the library this error seems to orginate from, and it’s not obvious to me what’s going wrong. But I’m not a rubyist, so maybe (hopefully!) I’m missing something obvious.

Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi!

If you access this instance of disocurse, you’ll notive I’ve added levels next to peoples pictures.

Thing is, when we scroll or reload the page, users don’t have their levels displayed.

I would need to run a function on the call back when users posts are displayed.

I’ve looked at the client side api doc:

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/lib/plugin-api.js.es6#L11


import { iconNode } from 'discourse-common/lib/icon-library';
import { addDecorator } from 'discourse/widgets/post-cooked';
import ComposerEditor from 'discourse/components/composer-editor';
import { addButton } from 'discourse/widgets/post-menu';
import { includeAttributes } from 'discourse/lib/transform-post';
import { addToolbarCallback } from 'discourse/components/d-editor';
import { addWidgetCleanCallback } from 'discourse/components/mount-widget';
import { createWidget, reopenWidget, decorateWidget, changeSetting } from 'discourse/widgets/widget';
import { preventCloak } from 'discourse/widgets/post-stream';
import { h } from 'virtual-dom';
import { addFlagProperty } from 'discourse/components/site-header';
import { addPopupMenuOptionsCallback } from 'discourse/controllers/composer';
import { extraConnectorClass } from 'discourse/lib/plugin-connectors';
import { addPostSmallActionIcon } from 'discourse/widgets/post-small-action';
import { addDiscoveryQueryParam } from 'discourse/controllers/discovery-sortable';
import { addTagsHtmlCallback } from 'discourse/lib/render-tags';
import { addUserMenuGlyph } from 'discourse/widgets/user-menu';
import { addPostClassesCallback } from 'discourse/widgets/post';
import { addPostTransformCallback } from 'discourse/widgets/post-stream';
import { attachAdditionalPanel } from 'discourse/widgets/header';
import { registerIconRenderer, replaceIcon } from 'discourse-common/lib/icon-library';

but I can’t seem to figure it out.

U guys got any clues as to how I could do this?

Imported images missing thumbnails, getting tombstoned

Continuing the discussion from My journey into a massive posts rebake job:

So I’ve been working on this import for a community that really likes lots of really huge images. There are about 160GB of images.

After the import images were getting moved to tombstone. Also, even when the images are un-tombstoned and posts rebaked, they still aren’t getting thumbnails generated.

One thing that I’m wondering about is that embedded_image_html (in script/import_scripts/base/uploader.rb), generates
<img src="#{upload.url}" width="#{image_width}" height="#{image_height}"><br/>
rather than the “new style”
![discourse-custom|350x349](upload://p8qkAX4eV6X5fkq8N57DKqINJDN.png)
@bartv has noticed that there are no entries in (I think) post_uploads or optimized_images tables.

I’ve looked at the upload model and lib/upload_creator.rb. I can’t find what moves things to tombstone.

Is it possible that including images with the HTML style image links is causing them to get tombstoned and/or not get thumbnails generated?

Hello,

We just recently transitioned our forum over to Discourse and I am having some trouble. I am attempting to see if there is a way to send a unique join link to individuals so I can track if they join the community or interact with the link? Is there also a way to see where new users are coming from? I can see the number of how many new users we have but I want to see how they found the community. Any help is much appreciated.

I am experiencing the exact same issue described here:

Embedded Comments iframe Height support

I recently got embedded comments working on my blog (only snafu was that the domains are case sensitive). Great feature, awesome work, etc etc etc. However, the default height of the embedded iframe always seems to be 150. This means that users can not see the Continue Discussion button at the bottom. The iframe doesn’t show a scrollbar either, so users can’t even scroll down to reach the button. All they see is the top comment, and the rest of the content is cut off. I can manually set the he…

However I can see that a pull request has been merged to fix that issue (I double checked my capitalization anyway).

The issue is that my iframe height is not being set and seems to default to 150px

image.png1366x728 65.8 KB

Which as you can see cuts off all but the first part of the first post. If I manually increase the iframe height I can see that all the rest of the posts are there, but hidden.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Group Membership problematic UX changes

@ChrisBeach wrote:

I notice some recent changes to group management have changed the way group members are added.

The “add member” option is hidden behind this mini hamburger menu (see screenshot below).

This will affect my forums. When staff in local shops meet forum members, the staff add these members to our “Verified” group (which then adds a “verified” flair to their profile).

The shop staff (many of which are non-technical, and few of whom I’m in direct contact with) are used to “ye olde” straightforward interface where they visited a URL (I created a https://se23.life/verify route via my nginx front-end) and they got a simplified form where they could search by username and click “add”.

Now they must know to click the mini hamburger. In practice, they’ll probably try to add a user using the “username” box on the top right (which is a search box that filters the list of members). They’ll probably be confused, and I don’t want to trouble shop owners to retrain their staff as they’re already going out on a limb for me and providing this service for free.

I’d really appreciate if a simple form could be restored for members to be added? Hiding this vital feature behind a hamburger menu really hurts its discoverability.

I would like the inverse of this behavior, to add anyone who does not come from my clients email domain (e.g. *foo.com) to be added to this group.

Is it possible to do this?

It blocks the notifications, and it blocks the post from showing up in topic view. And it shouldn’t be possible for the user to tell they’re shadowbanned unless they try.

The list of shadowbanned users is stored in a setting with the usernames separated by |s. There’s probably a better way to do it, but I’m not sure how.

Hi,

We are using a multi container infrastructure

3 front-ends in SGN/JPN/IND

RDS & Elastic cache REDIS in SG

We have read replicas deployed close to our front-ends

We use S3 in SG to store our pictures (no replication)

We use Route 53 latency based routing to find the best server for our users.

When I load our main page from Singapore it works fine. I can see all our avatars. If i do the same thing but using a VPN to Tokyo, I see what seems to be a default avatar.

Any idea what is happening?

Hello. My name’s Anna and I want to have my own server running Discourse platform.

However, I have installed discourse platform on my server and it’s working fine.

One concern is that if the user access to the site using scraping script, for example, using PHP or Python, then I want to prevent sending content to those IP.

Idea is that if the user doesn’t use the browser then doesn’t send him the content.

I want this to be done by a plugin but I am open to your suggestion.

I am also open to any budget suggestion from you. Thanks in advance. Anna.

In our AWS admin console i see that I have no active transaction, no connection.

How can i check if my replica is correcly used in discourse?
