SimpleShib

SimpleShib is a plugin that connects a site to a Shibboleth Single Sign-On (SSO) system. It is designed for organizations, such as universities or large companies, that need to integrate their existing identity provider with their site's user authentication.

• Shibboleth SSO Integration: Links the site directly to a Shibboleth identity provider, enabling users to sign in with their established institutional usernames and passwords.
• Centralized Authentication: Manages user logins through the organization's central directory, removing the need to create and maintain separate user accounts on the site.
• Simplified User Access: Provides a familiar login experience for members of the organization, typically redirecting them to their institution's login page.
• Plugin-Based Setup: Installs as a standard plugin, offering a method to implement Shibboleth authentication without modifying core site files.
• Note on Availability: This plugin was permanently closed by the author in December 2025 and is no longer available for download from its original repository.
