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 OpenID Connect Server version 2.0.3 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.

Overview

About this plugin

With this plugin you can use your own WordPress install to authenticate with a webservice that provides OpenID Connect to implement Single-Sign On (SSO) for your users.

The plugin is currently only configured using constants and hooks as follows:

Define the RSA keys

If you don’t have keys that you want to use yet, generate them using these commands:

key

And make them available to the plugin as follows (this needs to be added before WordPress loads):

define( 'OIDC_PUBLIC_KEY', <<<OIDC_PUBLIC_KEY -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- ...

-----END PUBLIC KEY----- OIDC_PUBLIC_KEY );

define( 'OIDC_PRIVATE_KEY', <<<OIDC_PRIVATE_KEY -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- ...

-----END PRIVATE KEY----- OIDC_PRIVATE_KEY );

Alternatively, you can also put them outside the webroot and load them from the files like this:

key' ) );

Define the clients

php of your theme or in a MU-plugin like:

uri', 'grant_types' => array( 'authorization_code' ), 'scope' => 'openid profile', ), ); }

Exclude URL from caching

  • example.com/wp-json/openid-connect/userinfo: We implement caching exclusion measures for this endpoint by setting Cache-Control: 'no-cache' headers and defining the DONOTCACHEPAGE constant. If you have a unique caching configuration, please ensure that you manually exclude this URL from caching.
