Secure User Authentication with CAS Maestro
CAS Maestro is a WordPress plugin designed to facilitate secure user authentication via Central Authentication Service (CAS). This tool seamlessly integrates with the WordPress authentication system, allowing users to log in using their existing CAS credentials. Upon initiating a session, users are redirected to the CAS single sign-on page, where they can authenticate. Valid users are then redirected back to WordPress, while new users can be automatically created if pre-registered in the plugin’s configuration settings.
The plugin offers additional features such as LDAP server integration, enabling the retrieval of personal data like names and email addresses for user profiles. CAS Maestro also includes validation mechanisms to prevent account lockouts due to misconfiguration, and it provides mail notifications for pre-registered users. With network activation capabilities, this plugin stands out as one of the most secure CAS solutions available for WordPress.
