Wordpress as a backend

[Nikolas Stylianides]

Hi all.

We are currently using OpenLDAP for the user database (password, profile, groups). It would be interesting though to enable CAS to authenticate against a Wordpress user database and read also the Principles from that database (and also Roles). 

Has anyone tried it? 

Thank you in advance.

Nikolas,

There is delegated auth, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.2.x/integration/Delegate-Authentication.html, and an option for custom auth, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.2.x/installation/Configuring-Custom-Authentication.html.

If you want to access the database directly, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.2.x/installation/Database-Authentication.html

Attributes would be the same, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.2.x/integration/Attribute-Resolution.html
