Update Oauth Identity ID

Hi,

You can either create a new Client or update your existing Client's Id. User accounts should be linked with their existing accounts if username and email match, they just authenticate with their password and the link is created.

Another note though, you should be using an IExternalAuthentication provider for primary auth. We recommend you incorporate the new OAuth mapping into the logic of the provider.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your reply. When you say:

How would be the proper way to do it? By REST (which one?) update it maybe through SQL Query? And yes, our existing accounts are linked the way you've mentioned

If you are doing this through Oauth you had to create an IOauthPlugin client, that needs to be changed or re-implemented.  But as mentioned, this is not the right way if you are using this as your only authentication, this was meant as secondary option but not a replacement.  That should be done using SSO/IExternalAuthentication plugin

Right now we have an OAuth plugin working in our community which implements a IOAuthClient interface. The migration should be able to re-use most of the current code so that's why we wanted to continue using the same approach. (It's in production for about a year and a half now) That's why I was asking if there was an option to update the Client's Id under the same approach.

If you update the id in your plugin, existing accounts will be automatically linked to new OAuth upon login using the new plugin, as long as email and username match.

That sounds great, I'll give it a try ASAP, thank you!
