Wordpress

Presentation

Wordpress is a famous tool to create websites.

A lot of authentication plugins are available. We propose here to use CAS protocol and WP Cassify plugin.

CAS

Plugin installation

Go in Wordpress admin and install WP Cassify plugin.

Plugin configuration

The full documentation is available on https://wpcassify.wordpress.com/

General settings

Configure CAS server and CAS version:

CAS Server base url : https://auth.example.com/cas/
CAS Version protocol: 2

Other options are correct by default.

User Roles Settings

You can assign WP Roles depending on values sent by CAS.

The rules syntax is quite special, you can use it or you can just define macros on LL::NG side and send them through CAS to keep simple rules on WP side.

For example create a macro role_wordpress_admin which contains 1 if the user is admin on WP, and send it in CAS attributes.

Then create this rule on WP side:

administrator|(CAS{role_wordpress_admin} -EQ "1")
