XF 2.3 OAuth2 between 2 xenforo forums

[Faust]

Hi. Is anyone here did set up successfully connected account between 2 forums? I am really struggling to set one up, not sure what I am doing wrong but I always have this back:

An error occurred while connecting with XenForo. Please try agai

I've asked for support via ticket, and that wasn't helpful either, after renewing 2 licenses.

It may be a good idea to post your settings you are trying to use on both forums.

Sample setup:

Step 1: Configure the OAuth2 Provider (Forum A)
This forum will act as the identity provider.
1. Enable OAuth2 Server:
• Go to Admin Control Panel (ACP) → Setup → Connected accounts
• Click Add provider → Choose OAuth2 Server
• Configure the server with:
• Authorization endpoint
• Token endpoint
• User info endpoint
• Scopes (e.g., , )
• Client ID and Secret (auto-generated)
2. Create a Client for Forum B:
• In the same section, add a new OAuth2 Client
• Set Redirect URI to Forum B’s callback URL (e.g., )
• Save the Client ID and Secret for use in Forum B

Step 2: Configure the OAuth2 Client (Forum B)
This forum will authenticate users via Forum A.
1. Add Connected Account Provider:
• Go to ACP → Setup → Connected accounts
• Click Add provider → Choose OAuth2
• Enter:
• Authorization URL from Forum A
• Token URL from Forum A
• User Info URL from Forum A
• Client ID and Secret from Forum A
• Scopes (must match Forum A)

Test the Connection:
• Try logging in via Forum B using the connected account
• If successful, Forum B will authenticate users via Forum A

Have not tested, but maybe it will help.

I've had no luck and given up.

It doesn't work or what ? Means the feature is just a gimmick ?

For me it wasn't worth spending any more time with.

I also tried to set up OAuth where my wiki users could log in using my Xenforo, but I also gave up on it.

I have played with it last night , and just couldn’t make it work, so thought maybe I am missing something.

The support via ticket wasn’t helpful either. The person said it should’ve worked without providing any further help with it (useless).

That’s the second feature from XF 2.3 that is more like a gimmick.
