Laravel-VanillaSSO

This package allows you to use jsConnect of Vanilla Forums in your Laravel 4 application.

SSO (Single Sign-on) will save your time if you want to implement a forum on your Laravel 4 application.

The package is availabe on Packagist https://packagist.org/packages/pdefreitas/vanillasso

If you want to implement it into your Laravel installation:

1. Edit the composer.json file

"require": {
 ...
 "pdefreitas/vanillasso": "dev-master",
 ...
},

2. Update the composer

$ composer update

3. Edit the providers Array() in app.php (app/config/app.php)

'providers' => array(
...
 'Pdefreitas\VanillaSSO\VanillaSSOServiceProvider',
...
),

4. Publish the vanillasso.php config file to make it accessible in app/config/packages/pdefreitas/vanillasso/vanillasso.php

 php artisan config:publish pdefreitas/vanillasso

Routes

Here is an example of a route that you may use (app/routes.php):

Route::group(array('before' => 'auth'), function()
{
    Route::get('/jsonp', 'VanillaSSOController@jsonResponse');
});

Configuration

You can directly edit config\vanillasso.php or add it to your application.

The configuration file looks like this:

return array(
    //The string client ID that you set up in the jsConnect settings page.
    "client_id" => "",
    //The string secred that you set up in the jsConnect settings page.
    "secret" => ""
);

Hints

If you use Vanilla 2.1 there is an annoying bug that you have to alter a table in order to jsConnect 1.4.1 be supported:

ALTER TABLE GDN_UserAuthenticationProvider ADD IsDefault BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE;
