Skip login page if there is only one authentication client

[azmeuk]

Hi. I have one unique OIDC authentication client with my humhub installation, and this will not change in the future. Thus, displaying the regular signin form is useless for me and I would like to skip this screen and automatically redirect to my OIDC provider login page. I could not find documentation about this.

Is there a way to achieve this? If not, I suggest implementing this feature.

What do you think?

There's currently no way to achieve it. We won't likely work on it ourselves but will gladly accept a pull request implementing it.

Ok I may try to look at this then. Before I start, do you have clues or expectations on how this should be done?

[samdark]

1. It should be optional and turned off by default.
2. If there is a single client, no choice screen should be displayed and auth should be performed for that client right away.

Is a javascript redirection OK or do you prefer the redirection being made serverside?

[samdark]

We prefer it serverside.

I could find a workaround with a bit of configuration:

$config = [
    ...
    'components' => [
        ...
         'users' => [
            ...
            'enableAutoLogin': true,
            'loginUrl' => ['/user/auth/external?authclient=MyAuthClient'],
         ]
    ]
];

If it could be achieved without coding, it should be in the readme.
