Changing Site Address URL and active Directory ID login

  • I am new to WordPress and have been asked to set up an Intranet site for our company with it. My colleagues that deal with the network have set up a server for it but I want to change what users have to type into the address bar to get onto the Intranet.

    At present both the WordPress Address and Site Address URLs are set to https://intranet/mbintranet/wordpress. But I want to be able to set it so that when users type mbintranet into the browser address bar, it will take them to the intranet home page.

    Also, I would like to be able to log users in automatically based on their Active Directory Network ID. Is this possible?

    I’m sorry no one has answered your questions. It may be because intranet operations are outside the scope of these forums. I would hope by now you got the answers you need from other sources.

    Once you have intranet requests directed as you want, I will point out that there could be other links within WP beyond the site and home URL settings which need to be updated, such as image references embedded in post content. Use a DB search and replace plugin to update all URLs in the DB. In your case it may not be too critical since the original paths may still work.

    User authentication can be completely customized through the “authenticate” filter. I cannot comment on how to validate through AD, but once validated, return a valid WP_User object from the filter callback to let the user login, or return a new WP_Error object to fail the login.
