Login with Magic Link?

[richb201]

I am not using any login pages. Where would I set that up? The plan is to eventually send a passwordless email to a user, have them click the link which brings them to a form on my host. But for now I am trying to get it to work with just the FusionAuth control panel.

Hi @richb201 ,

The hosted pages are set up by default for you.

So if I understand you correctly, are you saying that you have enabled passwordless for a given application but don't see the 'magic link' button on the login form?

What is the "OAuth IdP login URL" value that you are trying to login with? (If you go to Applications and then click the green magnifying glass next to the application you are trying to set up, you can see this value.)

Also, what is the value for "Passwordless login" from that same screen?

[richb201]

The oauth idp is : http://localhost:9011/oauth2/authorize?client_id=32688330-1630-4e0d-a4de-8ae45c3ca527&response_type=code&redirect_uri={your redirect URI here}

Notice that there is no redirect.! I am not able to fill in that field on Home/ Applications/Edit because it is greyed out.

You need to add a redirect ("Applications" -> your application -> "OAuth" and then add a URL which can receive an authorization code and then retrieve an access token).

[dan]

Sorry, I was moving quick last night and misunderstood your comment. What do you mean you can't edit the redirect? Can you share a screenshot, please?

[richb201]

see the very bottom? Authorized redirect URLs? I can't seem to change that since it is greyed out.

[dan]

Ah, that's a ux quirk. It isn't actually disabled, you should be able to add one or more urls to it.

You can see how I add a redirect url here: https://youtu.be/trzY5otEgKM?t=254

Hope that helps.

Thanks Dan. I watched the video. No, it will not take my redirect URL. Now, I don't have https on my laptop. Is that the issue? I am developing in a docker container on the laptop.

[dan]

You can't paste text into that input box, you have to type it. Are you trying to paste it in, perhaps?

If not, then there's something I don't understand going on.

Developing in docker shouldn't affect this.

Are you logged in as the admin user?

[richb201]

I am logged in as me and looking at the Users (attached) I am NOT an admin. Must I change that and how? BTW, my shirt came today. TY.

BTW, what does cat /etc/password mean?

[dan]

Hiya,

You are an admin (you have the admin role in the FusionAuth app) so you should be able to add a redirect URI.

Any chance you can record and upload a video of you trying to add the redirect URI? Everything looks solid from what I can see, so I'm a bit confused about what is happening.

Glad you got the shirt! cat /etc/passwd is unix-speak for "show my all your passwords"

I was wrong, you can paste it in. You just can't paste in two or more urls.

But I am trying to use the Research Credit Toolkit application. I haven't tried it with the FusionAuth application yet. Anyway I am going to try to record a screen video. I use Screenshot which doesn't have that ability. Can you recommend an app to do the recording with?

[richb201]

Notice that when I first login to the control panel (see attached), the Smart Link is not there.

[richb201]

Well I almost got it. Here is the screenshot. Notice the invalid URL? I do not have a an SSL Certificate for this laptop. Could this be the issue?

[dan]

Glad to see you're figuring things out.

https/http shouldn't be a problem. Is there a space at the beginning or end of your url?

[richb201]

This post is deleted!

[richb201]

OK. Got it in there.

Now, how should I test that this is working OK? My initial plan was to a) add users via the API b) send login message via email c) have users complete login via link in email d) have user hot the Send button to submit the form.

But now I think i should test step by step. What is next?

[dan]

Heya,

Are you asking for some free consulting ?

I think testing/writing each of these steps separately is a good idea. Step a should be pretty straightforward, step b doesn't involve fusionauth (I don't think, we do have a welcome email, but that happens when you add the user without any action). step c is your code + a fusionauth API call and step d is your code too.

No, I can play this "trial and error" game for months :). Seriously though, I am a little concerned that I couldn't enter the URL for quite a few days and then it started working. I just want to be sure that the authorized request origin URL is actually being used. Is there some easy way to test that without using the API?
Did I mention that I appreciate your help and the T-shirt too?
