How to Install Shibboleth Plugin, Manually
First and foremost, you must have the Shibboleth Service Provider properly
installed and working. If you don’t have Shibboleth working yet, I assure
you that you won’t get this plugin to work. This plugin expects Shibboleth to
be configured to use “lazy sessions”, so ensure that you have Shibboleth
configured with requireSession set to “false”. Upon activation, the plugin
will attempt to set the appropriate directives in WordPress’s .htaccess file.
If it is unable to do so, you can add this manually:
AuthType shibboleth Require shibboleth
The option to automatically login the users into WordPress also works when not
using the lazy session options as it will force login into WordPress. In other
words, if the user has an active session and you are requiring authentication
to access this WordPress site and they need to be logged into WordPress, then
they will be logged in without having to use the WordPress login page.
This works very well for sites that use WordPress for internal ticketing and
helpdesk functions where any access to content requires authentication.
Consider the following .htaccess options when used in conjunction with the
automatic login feature
AuthType shibboleth ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1 Require valid-user
OR
Authtype shibboleth ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1 Require isMemberOf group1 group2 Require sAMAccountName user1 user 2
NOTE: If the plugin is successful in updating your .htaccess file, it will
place the option between a marked block:
BEGIN Shibboleth
END Shibboleth
If you add more options, you may want to consider moving all configuration
options out of this block as they will be cleared out upon deactivation
of the plugin.
For single-user WordPress
Upload the shibboleth
folder to your WordPress plugins folder (probably
/wp-content/plugins
), and activate it through the WordPress admin panel.
Configure it from the Shibboleth settings page.
For WordPress MU
Shibboleth works equally well with WordPress MU using either vhosts or folders
for blogs. Upload the shibboleth
folder to your mu-plugins
folder
(probably /wp-content/mu-plugins
). Move the file shibboleth-mu.php
from
the shibboleth
folder up one directory so that it is in mu-plugins
alongside the shibboleth
folder. No need to activate it, just configure it
from the Shibboleth settings page, found under “Site Admin”.
