Memberstack + Webflow SSO --> Discourse

Post author

Hello - I am working on a project to build a new private/closed community and I am interested in using memberstack + webflow and SSO to discourse for the community platform. I am under the impression that this is now supported with custom SSO integration. I specifically need to make sure I can have users authenticated into webflow pages and then seamlessly navigate to Discourse community site. I have seen a few comments suggesting it's possible and I've seen the Memberstack SSO doc, but looking to see if there is any more specific information related to discourse integration. I need to test it out as soon as possible. Thanks.

    Hi Brain, thanks for posting your question! Hopefully we can find a solution for you. 

    cc Josh Lopez and Tyler Bell do you guys have any recommendations? I've tried to get a Memberstack + Discourse integration setup in the past, but SSO is a bit over my head.

    Thanks Duncan. I asked the same question in the discourse forum and got a positive response: https://meta.discourse.org/t/memberstack-webflow-discourse-sso/276238

    It seems like it should work. I need to get the discourse OpenID plugin installed. Can I test this out in free test mode or do I need to be on a paid memberstack plan to try it?

    My plan is to test this out and if it works I will use memberstack and webflow with SSO to discourse site to test out the MVP and run a small pilot.

    Oh this is fantastic news! Thanks for letting us know!

    You can test it while in free test mode 👍 Please let us know how it goes. I'm happy to help if you hit any blockers and will start documenting the solution if you get it working.

    Hi Duncan - circling back on this. I found the slack community after my original post here which kind of explains why the crappy zendesk forum is kind of a ghost town :-). Happy to move this over there. As an update, I did get OpenID SSO to work with Discourse and Memberstack. The SSO seems to work ok but it does require to authorize memberstack and to login into a memberstack popup which is not ideal but might be ok for my pilot. I am also having issues getting the memberstack login to my webflow base template. I am just using "memberbase" free template as a way to test it out. I do have it pretty much working but it's inconsistent - this is probably due to my own lack of skills around webflow and memberbase. I've watched a bunch of videos but I may need to find some professional help. My goal is to use passwordless and have the integration to Discourse. Surely others have done this before, no?
