Update user data at login

    I’ve been using the WP SAML Auth plugin on several of our university WordPress sites and it’s working great. The only thing that is missing for us is that when user data changes at the IdP the change isn’t updated in WordPress.

    Would it be possible to update the user data whenever a user logs in?

    Great suggestion!

    You should be able to update the user data when a user logs in with the following code snippet (untested):

    
/**
 * Update user attributes after a user has logged in via SAML.
 */
add_action( 'wp_saml_auth_existing_user_authenticated', function( $existing_user, $attributes ) {
	$user_args = array(
		'ID' => $existing_user->ID,
	);
	foreach ( array( 'display_name', 'first_name', 'last_name' ) as $type ) {
		$attribute          = \WP_SAML_Auth::get_option( "{$type}_attribute" );
		$user_args[ $type ] = ! empty( $attributes[ $attribute ][0] ) ? $attributes[ $attribute ][0] : '';
	}
	wp_update_user( $user_args );
}, 10, 2 );

    Let me know how that works for you!

    Great! I’ve updated the README to include this code snippet: https://github.com/pantheon-systems/wp-saml-auth/pull/130
