## Description

### Uses outside services

Please be aware that this plugin uses your university’s CampusNet service by contacting
it directly. It also uses your university’s authentication system. Usernames and
passwords are stored as WordPress users, so, they are just as secure as a normal
WordPress user would be.

### What does it do?

Use your university’s CampusNet login via their API. It requires a user to be a 
member of a specific CampusNet group (definable) to get access, that way, the administration
of users is kept in one place (or, use group/elementid 0 to not use a group). For
each user logging in, it makes sure that a WordPress user is created/exists, so 
if the CampuseNet API ever breaks, you can disable it and the users can login using
the username and password they used earlier.

**NOTE:** it adds a checkbox on the login page that sets if the user is a student
or not.

### Support

The best place to file a bug report or a feature request is using [Github issues](https://github.com/Tehnix/wp-campusnet-authentication/issues),
which is checked far more often than the support section here (which I, of course,
still do check).

## Installation

 1. Upload the folder `wp-campusnet-authentication` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress
 3. Create an app token at your universities CampusNet page by requesting API credentials
 4. Fill out details in the settings menu item `CampusNet Authentication`

## FAQ

#### Can I choose not to have it limited to the users of a group

You can set the element id to 0, and then it will ignore the group restriction.
