Hi, hoping I can get a response on this. I have close to a working system using:
WordPress 4.9.8
Vanilla 2.6
Vanilla Plugin (with edits) 1.1.8
Latest Groups Plugin
OneLogin SAML SSO Plugin
We have around 10 brands that I’d like to propagate this Single Sign On system to.. but I am awaiting some solidification of small remaining details.
One of the (continuing) remaining issues is this plugin… role propagation, and then keeping up with WordPress changes.
I posted an issue here:
https://github.com/vanilla/wordpress-vanilla/issues/26
Basically, the plugin 1.1.8 and 1.1.9 in SVN, is still using a function that had been deprecated by wordpress. Finally, it stopped working and was causing problems when using the /sso link. My fix fixes that. However, I still have the role propagation issue.
I then noticed that there are differences between the github version and the SVN version. Do you know if the SVN v. 1.1.9 fixes the role propagation issue?
Just to correct some confusion… the Plug-in versions above that I mention are wrong.
I am using WordPress Vanilla V. 1.1.18.. and ignore my reference to 1.1.9.
However, the fix I posted is still valid in 1.1.18… and Role Propagation is still not working.
Please ignore this post.. after many months, I realized that the problem was my important role, which was ‘Administrators’, instead of ‘Administrator’. I hadn’t had to deal with this in previous installs so I didn’t catch it.
Vanilla try’s to match roles via Role Name with wordpress, it applies roles via first match, and if not found, a default.
Editing the Role of ‘Admininistrators’ (getting rid of the ‘S’) fixed this. :-/
