wcs.adminauth 2.0.0

Introduction

This product provides administrative login functionality for Plone sites using a central authentication server (CAS).

It’s goal is to make locally stored passwords for administrative accounts obsolete and instead authenticate users with their personal, centrally managed account when logging in with an administrative account to a Plone site.

This is helpful when running a lot of Plone sites and having multiple people that need administrative access as there’s no need to share and manage administrative passwords.

Compatibility

• Plone 6.1

• Python 3.12, 3.13

Installation

Add wcs.adminauth to your package dependencies or install it with pip:

pip install wcs.adminauth

Usage

Open the @@adminauth view in your browser and you will get authenticated as the adminuser user.

You can specify a different userid by providing it as an url parameter: e.g. @@adminauth?userid=john.

CAS Server URL

The CAS Server URL options has to be provided via environment variables.

Example:

ADMIN_AUTH_CAS_SERVER_URL=https://cas.example.com/

Admin users id

You need to define what user the plugin should use as central admin user (default is admin).

Example:

ADMIN_AUTH_USERID=admin
