Managing WordPress users and Google apps
On a quest to make my Scout group’s website as simple as possible to use, I’m searching for a way to enable a single-sign-on (SSO) capability. Why you ask? So that our adult leaders and lay helpers can access both the Google Apps backend and the website with the same credentials.
Searching the WordPress plugin repository I’ve come up with these potential solutions:
- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/3rd-party-authentication/
- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openid/installation/
- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rpx/
- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-google-apps/
- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/opensso-plugin/changelog/
- http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gigya-socialize-for-wordpress/
Now some of those look like they would be more useful in allowing a wide range of authentication options for people just leaving comments on your blog, but some look like they’d have real potential.
If you have any experience with these I’d love to hear about it. In the meantime I’ll be working my way through these, testing which will provide the best solution for the Scout group.
