This package allows you to use Discourse as an SSO endpoint for an arbitrary site.
Discourse SSO is invoked prior to serving the proxied site. This allows you to reuse Discourse Auth in a site that ships with no auth.
Usage:
e of ./discourse-auth-proxy:
isten-url="": uri to listen on eg: localhost:2001. leave blank to set equal to proxy-url
rigin-url="": origin to proxy eg: http://localhost:2002
roxy-url="": outer url of this host eg: http://secrets.example.com
so-secret="": SSO secret for origin
so-url="": SSO endpoint eg: http://discourse.forum.com
llow-all: don't restrict access to "admin" users on the SSO endpoint
