I am setting up authorizer on a “forms” page for our university. It works great for authenticating the user against our CAS, however, we do not want it to create an account for each person that logs in, we only want it to use it to verify they are in CAS. Is there a way to do that with this plugin?

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

You can hook into the account login functionality by using the filter at https://github.com/uhm-coe/authorizer/blob/master/authorizer.php#L634-L641

The filter would examine the CAS result being passed in, and then could use wp_redirect(); to redirect to a specific page if the user’s CAS authentication was successful. This would break out of Authorizer after the user’s CAS authentication has been approved, but before an account is created in WordPress.

More on filters is at https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/hooks/filters/

More on wp_redirect is at https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_redirect/; be sure to include the exit call mentioned in the info at this link.
