Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records UTHSC WPCAS version 1.0 as active, updated 10y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.3.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin uses the phpCAS library to integrate CAS single sign on with WordPress.

  • Provide users with a familiar secure login on multiple WordPress sites without the need for additional expensive ssl certificates.
  • phpCAS configuration settings can be set in the plugin options
  • Login screen redirects to CAS url specified in options
  • New user accounts will be created for users who have not logged in to the site yet
  • User attributes returned by CAS can be used to populate new user account details such as email address and display name.
  • Service urls can be captured to redirect users to the same page on log in/out. (Logoutwithredirectservice must be enabled on CAS server for log out redirects to work.)

Special thanks

David R. Poindexter III and Indiana University – During the development of this plugin, IU-WPCAS was one of the only CAS plugins for WordPress and provided a good bit of inspiration. Clearly, our plugin’s name is completely original.

Todd Barber and Billy Barnet @ UTHSC for all of their patience, support and good advice

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
