πŸ§ͺ Tests and Simulations: Creating Custom API Endpoints, Testing OAuth Workflows, and Advanced Payment Automations

6. πŸ” Setting Up Custom Login Authentication (Example)

Example: Your membership site is part of a larger enterprise system, and you want users to log in using their company’s credentials (via Single Sign-On or SSO), instead of having to create a new WordPress account.

How it works:

  • The MemberPress REST API can integrate with your enterprise’s authentication system, allowing users to log in using their existing credentials (e.g., through an OAuth or SAML-based system).
  • The API ensures that only authorized users are granted access to the membership content.

Metaphor: Imagine a high-security building where employees use their company ID cards to unlock doors. Instead of giving each person a new key when they enter, the API acts as a smart door system, recognizing each employee’s ID card and granting access based on their existing credentials.
