WordPress Drupal Single Sign-On – SSO Integration using OpenID Connect protocol

Drupal SSO integration will allow the users to log in to the WordPress using the Drupal site Credentials. This SSO integration is achieved by the miniOrange OAuth / OpenID Connect server module which uses the OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect protocol. The module is compatible with all OAuth / OpenID Connect clients and is available for Drupal 7, Drupal 8, Drupal 9, and Drupal 10.

In this setup guide, we will help you configure the Single Sign-on login using the OAuth protocol between the Drupal site and the WordPress.
