Single Sign On (SSO) with Wordpress

We are using a event management plug in on wordpress and will likely be building our website there as well, while we would like to use Rock for donations and check-ins. Is there a way to implement a single sign on so that our congregation can use the same login credentials for both Wordpress and Rock?

    Hi Ross,

    You can view and configure the available authentication services by selecting "Admin Tools/Security/Authentication Services" from the navigation bar.

    Out of the box, Rock currently supports Database (Rock-specific), Active Directory (Windows Server), and Facebook.
    The good news is that Rock has an extensible model for implementing authentication services, so new services can be added by anyone with some programming knowledge.
    If you have a need to develop an authentication service for Wordpress, the source code for the Facebook service would probably be a good template to start with.

    -David.

    Hey Ross,

    Have you heard that Rock's Event Registration and Calendar features should be coming out this fall?  (It looks like the Rock Conference registration on the Home page might be using an Alpha version of the feature.)  That could keep users from having to sign into WP and just have a "myIsland" account.

    Hi Trey,

    I'm really looking forward to version 4 as well and I really do hope that they will have events this fall. In general though, does Rock support external authentication? I see that there is an option for Authentication Provider when creatign a user login?

    I haven't tried this yet but it might be useful if you know asp.net. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14309090/c-sharp-asp-net-single-sign-on-implementation

    We are looking at implementing a custom SSO solution, and I'm wondering if any of you got far enough on this to figure out if Single Sign Out is possible. In other words, if someone logs out of RockRMS, I'd like to be able to include a web service request, redirect, or iFrame include that would help me to sign them out of other systems implementing the custom SSL solution.

    Hi,

    I'm are trying to do something similar to a SSO in Wordpress.  On the WP site, the user can do a facebook login, and once they do that, is it possible to pass the facebook token over to the Rock to authenticate the user ?  So something like using facebook as the auth provider between WP and the Rock ?  Thanks.
