Usable with Azure AD?

    Can this plugin be used to authenticate against Azure Active Directory?
    Azure AD supports a number of open standard authentication methods including SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0, but I’m finding it difficult to find a WordPress plugin that does what I need.

    Basically I only need authentication for administrative/editing users, for the admin/dashboard area of WordPress. Everyone else should just be able to view the WordPress content pages as normal without needing a login.

    However, because only certain users are authorised to administrate or edit our WordPress sites we’d need to be able to do some sort of group -> role mapping.

    You should be able to use Authorizer to connect to Azure AD via LDAP if you configure LDAPS in Azure:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-domain-services/tutorial-configure-ldaps

    Then you’d just set Authorizer to allow “Only approved users” so that any existing WordPress users can log in (either with their Azure AD credentials, or their WordPress password). If anyone not in WordPress already tries to log in with their Azure AD credentials, they’ll be placed on a pending list in Authorizer and you can choose whether to create WordPress accounts for them.
