Other Integrations

This guide covers additional integrations including GIF support (Klipy), CAPTCHA protection (Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA), and Single Sign-On (SSO) for integrating ChatNet with external authentication systems.

GIF Support (Klipy)

Navigate to Chat & Features > GIF

Allow users to search and share GIFs in chat messages using the Klipy API.

Setup

1. Sign up at klipy.co
2. Create an application to get your API key
3. Copy your API key

Configuration

After configuration, users will see a GIF button in the chat input area.

CAPTCHA Protection

Navigate to Moderation > Captcha

Protect registration and login forms from bots using CAPTCHA verification. ChatNet supports both Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA.

Cloudflare Turnstile

Turnstile is a privacy-focused, user-friendly CAPTCHA alternative from Cloudflare.

Setup

1. Log in to Cloudflare Dashboard
2. Navigate to Turnstile in the sidebar
3. Click "Add site"
4. Enter your domain
5. Choose widget type (Managed, Non-interactive, or Invisible)
6. Copy the Site Key and Secret Key

Configuration

Google reCAPTCHA

Google's widely-used CAPTCHA service.

Setup

1. Go to reCAPTCHA Admin
2. Click the "+" to register a new site
3. Enter a label for your site
4. Choose reCAPTCHA type (v2 or v3)
5. Add your domain(s)
6. Accept terms and submit
7. Copy the Site Key and Secret Key

Configuration

reCAPTCHA Versions

• v2 Checkbox: "I'm not a robot" checkbox
• v2 Invisible: Triggered on form submit, no checkbox
• v3: Score-based, completely invisible

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Navigate to Integrations - SSO

SSO allows users to authenticate using an external identity provider, enabling seamless login from your existing website or application.

When to Use SSO

• Integrate ChatNet with an existing website's user system
• Allow users from your main platform to access chat without re-registering
• Centralize authentication across multiple services
• Implement enterprise identity providers

How SSO Works

1. User clicks "Login with SSO" on ChatNet
2. User is redirected to your external auth system
3. After successful authentication, user is redirected back
4. ChatNet receives a signed token with user information
5. User is logged in (or account is created if new)

Configuration

Setup Steps

1. Navigate to Integrations - SSO
2. Enable SSO
3. Enter your SSO endpoint URL
4. Set a secure shared secret key
5. Configure user field mapping
6. Save changes
7. Implement the SSO endpoint on your server

Token Format

Your SSO endpoint should return a JWT or signed token containing user information:

{ "user_id": "external_user_id", "username": "john_doe", "email": "john@example.com", "avatar": "https://example.com/avatar.jpg", "timestamp": 1234567890 }

Security Considerations

• Always use HTTPS for SSO communications
• Keep the shared secret secure and rotate periodically
• Implement token expiration (recommended: 5 minutes max)
• Validate all tokens server-side before trusting
• Log SSO attempts for security auditing
