Automatically logging in to Nextcloud when logging into Wordpress

Hi all,

I would like to automatically sign into Nextcloud when logging into Wordpress. I am currently using the User and Group SQL Backends app to get the users from the Wordpress database. Nextcloud is installed in a sub directory,
Both Nextcloud and Wordpress are using the same database with different prefixes. Would anybody know how to do this?

Thanks for any help :slight_smile:

Hi

You want to make SSo ( for sigle sign on ).

To do this you can use CAS ( for Central Authentification Service )

Thanks a lot :smiley:

I downloaded the SSO & SAML authentication app but didn’t get it to work, do i need to install a plugin for wordpress? What do i need to configure?

Hi,

It’s a little more complicated than just install nextcloud apps ;).

You have to install an Sso serveur and certainly an LDAP serveur to make it work.

You should have a look on CAS documentation here :
https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.1.x/index.html

You have a présentation of architecture needed for CAS here :
https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.1.x/planning/Architecture.html

For now you have just install the client part, you have to install the server part ;).

Thanks for the reply :smiley: ,

just to make thing clear, CAS is the Sso server and i need LDAP to authenticate? Do you know what apps and plugins I’d need for Wordpress and Nextcloud?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

If you look at CAS Architecture link, https://apereo.github.io/cas/6.1.x/planning/Architecture.html, you have your answer ;).

LDAP is not the only solution you can use for authentication part, as CAS is not the only solution for SSO.

Plugin for Nextcloud is user_cas, for wordpress I don’t know but they must have one.
