This plugin is designed to support integrating Wordpress sites into your existing
identity management infrastructure using a
Shibboleth Service Provider / Identity
Provider.
This plugin was initially based off of the
Shibboleth Plugin by Will Norris, but
updated to support network-based installations of WordPress, as well as the ability
to update permissions on a per-site basis.
WordPress can be configured so that all standard login requests will be sent to
your configured Identity Provider. Once authenticated, a WordPress account will be
created if one does not exist. User attributes can be synchronized with your enterprise's
system.
In addition, the user's role within each WordPress site, as well as the role of Super Admin,
can be set and updated based on any attribute Shibboleth provides.
Pre-Requisites
This plugin assumes that you already have your Shibboleth Service Provider properly
installed and working using "lazy sessions"
The plugin will attempt to set the .htaccess directives automatically. If it is
unable to, add this manually either to your .htaccess file, or Apache configuration:
AuthType Shibboleth Require Shibboleth ShibRequireSession Off
Uploading the Plugin
Upload the shibbolize folder to your WordPress plugins folder. By default, this is:
/wp-content/plugins Afterwards, activate it through the WordPress admin panel. Configure it
through the Shibbolize settings page.
