External Database Authentication Reloaded vs WP Cassify

Please Note: When you update to version 1.2.1, you will need to re-enter the details on the settings page. This External DB Authentication plugin allows the use of an external MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Sybase, Oracle, or SQLite database for authentication into WordPress. It is required that you know the encryption method for the passwords stored in the external database. Password encryption methods include MD5, SHA1, plaintext, PHPass, or enter a custom hash/salt method. It disables password reset/retrieval and account creation within the WordPress system on the user-end, and it doesn’t allow updating from the WordPress end back into the external authentication source. In addition to authentication, the plugin allows you to: Choose additional fields, such as first name/last name and website, to be imported into WordPress. Enter a custom message for users concerning logins. Do user role checks from the external database: you can set the plugin to check from a specific role field and compare to a value to allow login to WordPress.

Define notifications rules based on user attributes values. Purge user roles before applying user role rules. Define user account expiration rules bases on CAS User attributes. Network activation allowed You can set Service Logout URL (Needs to have CAS Server with followServiceRedirects option configured). Add support for web application hosted behind a reverse proxy. (Thanks to franck86) Add custom hooks : wp_cassify_after_cas_authentication, wp_cassify_before_auth_user_wordpress, wp_cassify_before_redirect, wp_cassify_after_redirect. (See online documentation) Custom filter to perform custom cas server response parsing. Hook name : wp_cassify_custom_parsing_cas_xml_response (See online documentation) Custom shortcode to generate CAS login/logout link into your blog. (See online documentation) Debug settings, dump last xml cas server response. Detect if user has already authenticated by CAS from your public pages and perform auto-login with gateway mode Add ‘-IN’ and ‘-NOTIN’ operators to process array attributes values returned from CAS. When you have : $cas_user_datas['title'] = array( 'Student', 'Professor' ); Then you can use : (CAS{title} -IN "professor")
