supportHello, i configured simplesamlphp as a SP to connect to our saml2 Idp. I would just like to use the plugin to enable users belonging to our organization to view the wordpress website (just viewing, the majority does not have to publish) and leave the local (traditional) authentication for editors and admins, it does not need to go through sso. Is it possible with this plugin? And how? Thank you
Hi there, Thanks for reaching out to us. The free version will allow you to add a Single Sign On button on your WordPress login page. Using this, you can allow your employees to login using their Identity Provider credentials, as well as provide an option to the admins/editors to login using their WP credentials. However, to achieve your requirements out-of-the-box, you can look into the premium version of our plugin. Using the premium version, you will be able to enforce SSO for the users who want to access the content of your site and enable a backdoor for the Admin and Editors to allow them to login using WP credentials. Please feel free to reach out to us via the Support Form in the plugin so that we can guide you further with your requirements. Thanks, Anukasha
Hello, thank you for your answer, Yes it’s exactly what i want to do. Will it work with simplesamlphp configured as a SP? Is the standard premium plan the one i need to buy to make it work? thank you for these informations
Hi, As I understand, simplesamlphp would act as the SAML IDP for your WordPress site (which would be your SP). If my understanding is correct, then you can achieve this with the Standard paid plan. Standard Plan includes the “ Auto-redirection from Site ” feature which would redirect your employees to your IDP for authentication, and only then allow them to view the site. For a more detailed comparison between the plans, you can click on the “Premium Plans” button in the plugin. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Also, please feel free to reach out to us via the plugin’s support form in case you need any help. Thanks, Anukasha
