# Discourse

## Presentation

Discourse is a conversation-oriented forum engine

Discourse supports its own Single-Sign-On scheme but is also compatible with standard protocols such as SAML and OpenID Connect, through plugins.

This documentation illustrates the OpenID Connect plugin.

First, make sure you have set up LemonLDAP::NG ‘s OpenID Connect service and added a Relying Party for your Discourse instance

Discourse can use the following OpenID Connect attributes to fill the user’s profile:

    * name
    * email
    * given_name
    * family_name
    * preferred_username
    * picture

Make sure you create a username and password for the Relying Party, and that the discourse callback URL is allowed : https://discourse.example.com/auth/oidc/callback
