WordPress Connector

Description/Features

A really experimental connector for Wordpress that performs centralized authentication to Crowd.

Limitations

• Single-sign on is not implemented. Only centralized authentication is provided. This may change when the Crowd REST API is ready.
• The wordpress user must exist already in wordpress. Only password checking is performed. It is feasible to provide functions to create the user if it doesn't exist.
