Using Chirpy with an existing login provider?

[francoislg]

I was looking into this project and find it very nice!

I'm wondering if you think the project would be a great fit for a website that already has it's own login provider (in our case, we are using Auth0), so that our logged-in users are already logged in when they want to comment.

Do you think it is technically feasible, or simply not in line with where the project is standing/going?

Hi @francoislg, thanks for the suggestion, that would be a great idea. But unfortunately, that's not my priority task, I can help you onboard on this project, thus you can explore this area for free.

I totally understand it is not a priority, mostly wanted to know about feasibility :D

Thanks for suggesting your help, I'll get back to you if we ever want to do this (we are still debating this)

@francoislg I'm not sure about feasibility, I'd like to discuss it with next-auth developers first. Thanks

Hi @devrsi0n, something like this: https://getreplybox.com/docs/single-sign-on-sso/ ?

Great work on Chirpy. I was almost ready to implement Chirpy and this stopped me, I do not want users to sign in again to comment. Maybe you can offer SSO in the paid plan.

Hey @jijojosein , thanks for trying Chirpy.
Yes, SSO can make commenting easier for users already logged in.
But SSO solutions are expensive, I we need an Enterprise plan for that. Is that ok to you?

Hi @devrsi0n, Thank you for the response. I am still learning to code, so please bear with my newbie question.

Is it possible to pass the email, name or other details to Chirpy, and Chirpy considers it as an authenticated user?

Hey that should be doable, but you'll need a SSO service to handle auth for you, otherwise any hacker can fool your system, right?
