Any suggestions on single sign-on (SSO) with WordPress + Wiki + Discourse?

5 points by stefek99 11y ago ↗ HN

Cannot ask on StackOverflow as it would be too broad / too generic.

There is an organisation that does really well and now is in the process of revamping their IT... New forum engine (move to Discourse), wiki (quite likely MediaWiki) and CMS (quite likely WordPress).

What would be the way for single login to work across all the systems? (Wordpress + wiki + Discourse)

My guesses: * http://openid.net/ * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/persona/

Any feedback / suggestions / recommendations welcome :) Thank you

At an organisation I worked we used SimpleSAMLphp as an SAML 2.0 Identity Provider in combination with the Shibboleth Apache Module for Access Control when we realised SSO for their WordPress and MediaWiki in 2011.

I bet nowadays there are authentication plugins for all kind of web applications so this could be done even more comfortable and also with other web server software.

You probably could tie something like openID together, but you'd need to do the work yourself.

If you're looking for a really commonly-used SSO system you might want to consider LDAP.
