Discourse Auth support for JSON Web Tokens (JWT)

discourse-jwt

A Discourse Plugin to enable authentication via JSON Web Tokens (JWT).

In the first instance, consider using Discourse's OpenID Connect or OAuth2 plugins. These authentication standards are more mature, and include more security features.

Configuration

This plugin provides three site settings for configuration. You must provide all three in your admin panel for the authentication to work correctly:

• jwt_enabled
• jwt_secret
• jwt_auth_url

Alternatively, you can supply values for these settings via environment variables. Add the following settings to your app.yml file in the env section:

• DISCOURSE_JWT_SECRET
• DISCOURSE_JWT_AUTH_URL
