CAS Authentication Method: Authenticate against Wordpress using REST API

[Nikolas Stylianides]

Hi there. 

Has anyone experience or succeeded to build an authentication mechanism to utilize Wordpress REST API?

[Ray Bon]

Nikolas,

Do you want to use cas as an authentication source for wordpress, https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/cas/?

Or do you want to access wordpress from another application that is already using cas, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.3.x/installation/Configuring-Proxy-Authentication.html?

Or do you want wordpress to be the authentication source for cas, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.3.x/installation/Rest-Authentication.html?

Nikolas,

I took a [very brief] look through the wordpress api and I do not see anything that would indicate password submission, https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/. If password submission api does not exist, you would have to create it.

If your cas server has access to the user store for wordpress (db, ldap, etc), you could point cas there directly using one of the other cas auth methods, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.3.x/installation/Configuring-Authentication-Components.html.
