[wp-edu] Lots of domains, single sign-in

[Ha, Michael]

Hi Scot,

So you are trying to avoid SSL certificate error by using a single sign-on?

I doubt it will work because after the user login and being redirected to the original domain dashboard (/wp-admin) the URL will be https without certificate. Right?

Scot,

I'm pretty sure UBC blogs does this very thing:

I would ask Novak Rogic how they did it. He rules, and you can find his contact info here:

We have around 30 WordPress domains in a .edu environment and we need to get wp-admin behind https for all of them.  We can't get a separate IP for  each domain.

Using the university's CAS (central sign-in service) via a plugin would be an ideal solution, but we have many users with logins who are not part of the university. Facebook login would be another option, but this isn't ideal for various reasons.

The university network officials want us to find a way to redirect users to a single sign-in domain, then back to the domain they're logging into. My question is, how can this be done with WordPress? Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks,
Scot
