Disgrifiad
This plugin allows sign in to WordPress using a JSON Web Token (JWT) contained in a HTTP Header that is added by a reverse proxy
that sits in front of your WordPress deployment.
Authentication and optionally role assignment is handled by claims contained in the JWT.
Verification of the JWT is handled by either:
- a shared secret key
- retrieving a JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) from a configured URL
During the login process if the user does not exist an account will be created with a matching role from the JWT.
If the JWT did not contain a role claim then user is created with the role set in the plugin settings (by default this is the subscriber role).

-
What header is the JWT retrieved from?
-
By default the plugin looks for the JWT in the
Authorization
header as follows:Authorization: Bearer <JWT Here>
However the token may be retrieved from a configurable HTTP header, for example integration with Cloudflare Access would use
theCf-Access-Jwt-Assertion
header. -
What should the JWT contain?
-
The JWT must contain at least an
email
claim and may also contain arole
claim:{ "email": "admin@example.com", "role": "admin" }
-
What signature algorimths are supported to verify the JWT?
-
Currently only the HS256 and RS256 alorithms are supported.
