NextCloud is a suite of client-server software for creating and using file hosting services. NextCloud’s application functionally is similar to Dropbox. Unlike Dropbox, Nextcloud does not offer off-premises file storage hosting. Nextcloud is free and open-source, which means that anyone is allowed to install and operate it on their own private server devices. Login using WordPress Users (WP as SAML IDP) Plugin enables Single Sign-On (SSO) login into NextCloud using WordPress Login credentials, i.e. authentication via WordPress. In this guide we will set up NextCloud SSO login for WordPress (WP) users by configuring NextCloud as Service Provider (SP) and WordPress as the Identity Provider (IDP).
To integrate the WordPress site as an Identity Provider, you will need to install the miniOrange Login using WordPress Users ( WP as SAML IDP ) plugin:
Single Sign-On (SSO) login with WordPress Users into any Service Provider like Tableau, Zoho, Zoom, Moodle, Canvas LMS, Absorb LMS, TalentLMS, etc.

Identifier of the IDP Entity | Copy and paste the IDP Entity ID. |
