About WSO2
WSO2 is an open source identity management tool through which various applications can be integrated. It offers API platforms and web services. Utilizing Single Sign-On to make accessing different applications from WSO2 as easy as possible improves the login time and overall security. Single Sign-On offers swift and secure access to applications like WordPress, and benefits the user experience greatly.
Challenge
While using applications like WordPress, logging in with separate usernames and passwords to each of them is inefficient and vastly inferior to using Single Sign-On. Without the implementation of Single Sign-On, there is no automatic login process, in which a user’s credentials are provided only once.
Solution
miniOrange has built the OAuth Client Plugin, the ideal solution to the above challenge. It contains an array of features created to make the login process as seamless as possible. Users can now log in to different applications through WSO2 with a single pair of credentials, and with an assurance of security.
