SSO Login into Rocket.Chat using Drupal as OAuth / OpenID Connect Provider
Overview
Drupal SSO integration will allow the users to log in to the Rocket.chat using the Drupal site Credentials. This SSO integration is achieved by the miniOrange OAuth / OpenID Connect server module which uses the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect protocol. The module is compatible with all OAuth / OpenID Connect clients and is available for Drupal 7, Drupal 8, Drupal 9, Drupal 10, and Drupal 11.
In this setup guide, we will help you configure the Single Sign-on login using the OAuth protocol between the Drupal site and the Rocketchat.
Configuration Steps
Configure an OAuth / OIDC Application in Rocket.Chat:
- Login to the Rocket.Chat with administrator credentials.
- From the left navigation menu, go to Administration -> Workspace.
- Navigate to the Settings tab from the left navigation menubar.
- Now, search for OAuth and click on the Open button.
- Click on the Add custom OAuth button present on the top right corner of the screen.
- Enter the application name under the Give a unique name for the custom OAuth text field and click on the Add button.
- Select the created application from the list of applications and expand it.

Configure Drupal as an OAuth Server
- Go to Configuration → People → miniOrange OAuth Server Configuration in the Administration menu. (admin/config/people/oauth_server_sso/config_client)
- Under the OAuth Client tab in the Add Client section enter the application name into the Application Name and paste the previously copied callback URL from the OAuth client into the Callback/Redirect URL text field.

Integrating Rocket.Chat with Drupal:

| Scope | profile openid email |
|---|---|
| Authorize Path | {base_url_of_the_drupal_site}/mo/oauth2/authorize |
| Token Path | {base_url_of_the_drupal_site}/mo/oauth2/token |
