WordPress REST API Authentication plugin provides the security from unauthorized access to your WordPress REST APIs.
Single Sign-on (SSO) is a technology that allows you to authenticate yourself and log into a variety of online applications and services using the same credentials. It saves you the trouble of entering the details to create a new account, repeatedly.
SSO makes it easy for users to log in by not making them remember many username and password combinations. It reduces the time needed to get work done, improving productivity. It also makes it easier for the administrator to manage user databases, since the probability of duplicate accounts or missing credentials is very low.
Single Sign-on works by sharing the token from a single session with multiple applications or websites. This increases security, since authentication is withdrawn when the token expires from all these services. Furthermore, it gives you the ability to implement Single Logout by the same token.
Single Sign-on in web apps is almost a necessity these days. It makes things easier for both you and your users. Plus, it is highly likely that these web applications don’t work independently. Rather, they are associated with some or the other online service or platform that the users primarily make use of.
Our SSO solution works smoothly with web applications made in various frameworks like React, Angular, Node.js, etc.
Single Sign-on can be implemented using your social login credentials from Google, Facebook, Apple, and LinkedIn, among others. Here, WordPress acts as middleware between your web application and the identity provider, which is your social media app. You must be logged in to your social media account in an active session for the authentication to occur successfully.
WordPress REST API allows the exchange of information necessary between the web applications and the social identity providers. It is done using a JWT (JSON Web Token) that carries your credentials in an encrypted form, making it secure and trustworthy.
This solution can be useful in corporate environments where LinkedIn is anywhere between a social network to a talent acquisition and business growth tool. It is natural to expect engineers, HR professionals, and other employees to have a LinkedIn account. So why not use the same credentials to log in to your other applications?
In short, SSO using social login works in this manner:
There are other scenarios where this solution can be used, like Firebase and OAuth/OpenID Connect applications like AWS Cognito, Azure AD, Okta, Keycloak, ADFS, etc. Or, you can allow users to wield their social login credentials to log into Discord and automatically join the relevant servers and channels.
You also have the option of directly using your WordPress account as the Identity Provider (IdP) and log into the designated web applications. Instead of acting as an intermediator, the WordPress account itself becomes the means of implementing Single Sign-on.
Users and clients that have access to your webpages, blogs, or online web content can use their WordPress accounts to gain access to your web applications as well. This is useful when visitors to your online blog, store, or other types of membership sites can avail of certain services or features on your mobile or web application.
This has the dual benefits of having to manage accounts associated with the same users who are using both your website and web application, while also taking the account management workload off of you. All a user has to do is sign into their WordPress account, open the web or mobile application, and then use Single Sign-on to gain access with a single click.
To summarize, SSO using WordPress works in this way:
