Add SSO cookie authentication support #94

Open pyarmak opened 3 months ago

pyarmak commented 3 months ago

Description

Often times these types of applications will be deployed as a complement to a full stack of applications that use Plex to authenticate users. It would be very useful to be able to have SSO for these scenarios to provide a better user experience. SSO providers include Organize, Authentik, etc.

Desired behavior

A user signs in through an authentication done upstream where a cookie with the Plex token is set, e.g. X-Plex-Token plex-rewind then looks for this cookie and authenticates the user session thereby skipping the login page.

Additional context

I would be happy to test out assist with developing this feature. I am not very familiar with nextjs so if you can point me in the right direction I'll be happy to take a stab at it!

Thanks for the ticket and POC PR. This use case makes sense to me. Just letting you know that I'm busy on other projects until April, but will pick this up then 🙏
