Social Network SSOs
NodeBB supports integration for Facebook, Twitter, and Google through third party plugins:
- npm install nodebb-plugin-sso-facebook
- npm install nodebb-plugin-sso-twitter
- npm install nodebb-plugin-sso-google
Other SSO vendors are available, such as GitHub. Please check the plugin directory for a list of all SSO vendors.
After installing and activating them, they require an API key in order to function:
Facebook
Register an application via the Facebook Developers page. A credit card or mobile phone number may be required in order to create a Developer account.
Create a new application, and obtain an Application Key and Application Secret:
Ensure that “Website with Facebook Login” is checked, and that the URL to your NodeBB instance is specified in the “Site URL” box. Add that site’s domain to the “App Domains” field.
Paste this key and secret into the appropriate boxes in the NodeBB Administration Panel (accessible via /admin on your NodeBB install)
Google
Register an application at the Google API Console, and obtain a Client ID and Secret.
Paste this ID and secret into the appropriate boxes in the NodeBB Administration Panel (accessible via /admin on your NodeBB install)
