Biggest opportunity: Swap “okta” for “contractor”. “okta” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “contractor” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 7K of 221.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “okta” for “contractor”. “okta” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “contractor” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

I have been using it for many websites, and working great. Kindly upgrade the plugin and it’s dependent libraries to make it compatible with latest versions.

Great SAML plugin
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Hal Sclater7.4y ago
Works very well with Azure AD, nice and simple but enough functionality. Only tricky part was the attribute mapping: These can be found in Azure AD, click the edit button on User Attributes & mapping, then copy and paste the full claim names in the first column. This topic was modified 7 years, 1 month ago by Jan Dembowski. Reason: Removed link

Worked right out of the box with EmpowerID as IdP with all of the required features.

Working on github with the admin was a pleasure. This plugin may not have everything, but it has the basics. What it didn’t have I built myself (Remember Me feature), and the admin was happy to incorporate.

I wish I came across this SAML plugin first! Very easy to install and configure and does everything we need it to, even though we aren’t using OneLogin but our own IdP instead.
