Allow a user to be automatically logged into WordPress if their headers are present and valid.
Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Header Login version 2.8.8 as active, updated 11y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.2.
Header Login allows a user to be automatically logged into WordPress if they have previously logged into
an Access Management Tool and have admin-defined headers present.
The plugin checks for valid headers. If these headers are present then the user is logged into WordPress.
If not, then nothing is done and the user remains a guest to the blog.
If desired, a new user can be created on WordPress automatically if authenticated through Access Management Tool.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 4.2.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
