We want authenticated WORDPRESS users to be able to access an OJS site without having to log into to a particular journal. Much was said earlier about SSO but it is still unclear how the SSO checks an external database, where that database is and how it gets updated.
From the SSO plugging…this text does not tell me where we authenticate to. For example, presuming that we have to use the SSO plugin, do we need to keep a file somewhere (called user.name) with a list of users that get gueried during login???
From the SSO github page. “When this happens, OJS will append the value of that parameter to the configured verification URL and fetch that document behind the scenes using cURL. It will test the response using the Verification Regular Expression. If the regular expression matches, the session will be considered verified; if not, it will be considered failed and the user will be sent to the Redirect URL.”
Appreciate anyone’s help. If you are interested in developing this or a SAML instance to run on an OJS installation, please let me know. Thank you!
