How to convert a WordPress site into an Intranet site?


A typical WordPress site is open to all internet users. To secure a WordPress site by limiting access to only organization members, you should convert a regular WordPress site into an Intranet site. Using our WordPress SAML Single Sign-On plugin, you can limit access to authenticated users within the organization, therefore preventing unauthorized access from the broader internet user base.


How to secure a WordPress site and restrict access to authorized users only?

Follow the steps given below to convert a WordPress site into an Intranet site to protect it from unauthorized access:

1. Configure Identity Provider of your choice

  • In the miniOrange SAML 2.0 SSO plugin, navigate to the Service Provider Metadata tab.
  • Secure WordPress Admin Login page | Workflow
  • Copy the SP Entity ID and ACS (AssertionConsumerService) URL provided.
  • Paste these URLs into the desired fields of your chosen Identity Provider configuration.
  • Secure WordPress Admin Login page | Workflow
  • Alternatively, you can provide the SP Metadata URL into IDP to Configure the Identity Provider.
  • Note: For more information, refer to our Service Provider Metadata page.

2. Configure WordPress SAML Service Provider

  • In the miniOrange SAML 2.0 SSO plugin, navigate to the Service Provider Setup tab.
  • Select the Identity Provider of your choice.
  • Secure WordPress Admin Login page | Workflow
  • Input the necessary fields such as the IDP Name, IDP Entity ID or Issuer, SAML Login URL, and X.509 Certificate from your Identity Provider.
  • Save the configuration by clicking on the Save button.
  • Secure WordPress Admin Login page | Workflow
  • Otherwise, you can also configure the Service Provider by clicking on the Upload IDP Metadata button and entering the Identity Provider name, IDP metadata URL or uploading the IDP metadata.
