Hey Community members…
As we announced in a recent blog post, we are looking to move homes from Ning to WordPress (specifically BuddyPress). We are also looking to spin up a few conferences and events, per year (such as SPBiz and Collab365 Conference).
What’s the best way to consolidate the user account across both services? Ideally we want ONE account, so that it makes it far easier for a member to login and access content on either the new SPCOM site or access a session on one of the conferences.
One of the options we are looking into is Azure AD. You get half a million users ‘on the house’ and it takes away all of the hassle of “user management”. (Who wants to to manage password nowadays anyway ;)).
However, if we did go down this route, then couple of questions :
1. If a member already has an Azure AD login to another Tenant (e.g. to O365) then how do we make the experience seamless? It’d be great if they can simply login to both at the same time! When I have tried switching from one O365 to another, it’s not been good.
2. Has anyone authenticated with OAuth on WordPress (with Azure AD as the backing store) before? If so how did it go?
