How to use the different configured IdPs with SAML SSO?

With our miniOrange SAML SSO multiple-IdP plugin, you can provide different login flows to your users as follows:

  • Domain Mapping: You can map email domains to the IdPs. Users will just need to enter their email address on the WordPress login page and they will be redirected to their IdP's login page for authentication, as per the mapping provided.
  • You can enable SSO Login based on the Domain Mapping option. Users will have to enter the email-id to login and if their domain is mapped then they will be redirected to that IDP for authentication.
  • In case the Domain Mapping fails, this option allows you to perform login either using WordPress credentials or Redirect to the chosen default Identity Provider.

  • SSO links/buttons: You can add IdP specific SSO links or buttons on your site using which your users can click on their respective IdP's link for authentication. You can also provide IdP specific SSO URLs to your users. When your users try to access your site using these URLs, they will be auto redirected to the corresponding IdPs login page.
  • Discovery list: You can provide an IdP selection dropdown anywhere on your site. Users can select their IdP from this list in order to authenticate themselves with their IdP.
  • To see the list of IDPs in the dropdown use the following shortcodes:
    • For PHP Page: echo do_shortcode('[MO_SAML_IDP_LIST]');
    • For HTML Page: [MO_SAML_IDP_LIST]

For Example - If you have users from multiple organizations (like Universities), you can configure all the Organization IDPs and have users authenticate themselves with their Organization account.

How to add new Identity Providers in the plugin?

  • Using this plugin you can restrict your site access to the users from particular organizations.
  • You can provide access to your courses on WordPress to different universities each having its own IDP like Shibboleth, ADFS, etc. You can provide Single Sign-On (SSO) into this course application to all these universities by integrating all of them using our miniOrange SAML Single Sign-On plugin.
