SecSign

توسط SecSign

We regret to inform you that due to low demand, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue development of our WordPress plugin. We appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us and are grateful for your continued support.

Please note that while our servers will continue to operate, supporting the SecSign App, we will no longer maintain or update the WordPress plugin. You can still use the existing version, but we won’t be releasing any further updates.

As a precaution, we recommend exploring alternative solutions to ensure compatibility with future WordPress updates, as the plugin may cease to function properly.

Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of our plugin and its integration with the SecSign App, we are unable to recommend an alternative solution that can provide the same level of functionality and security.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Once again, thank you for your loyalty and understanding.

Best regards,

The SecSign Team

Install the Plugin

Login into WordPress as admin, go to the plugins screen and select the “Add New” submenu.
Search for “SecSign” and click “Install Now” or click on “Upload” and select the downloaded zip archive.
Activate the plugin in the “Installed Plugins” list.

Note

The SecSign ID WordPress plugin uses the SecSign ID API. The API requests from the SecSign ID server a so-called access pass (a session and a pass icon) which must be confirmed on the smartphone. In order to enable the plugin to establish a connection to the SecSign ID server, the curl packet (http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php) must be installed for PHP, and the web server on which the WordPress site is running must be able to reach the SecSign ID server under https://httpapi.secsign.com. Otherwise, you have to make changes in the settings for firewall and/or proxy.

Add the Login Widget

You can add the SecSignID login widget to your site to allow the login on, for example, the side menu.
Go to the “Appearance” screen and click on the “Widgets” submenu.
Drag and drop the “SecSign ID Login” widget to, for example, the “Main Sidebar”

General Configuration

Go to the “Settings” screen and select the “SecSign ID Login” submenu.
Change the service address which will be shown to the user in the smartphone app. This should match the URL the users will see, when visiting your site.

Co-worker Configuration

You can integrate the SecSign ID login on the wp-login.php page. This is done by default.
Optionally, you can assign SecSign IDs to the WordPress users of your co-workers (admins, editors, authors and contributors). The users themselves can also assign a SecSign ID in their profile.
You can also deactivate the normal password-based login for the users, so they can only login using the SecSign ID. It’s recommended that you deactivate the password login for all co-workers, so your site is secured against brute force attacks. You should only allow the password-based login for your own admin account, in case you lose your phone, and of course for all co-workers without smartphones. These accounts should be secured using a very strong password.

User Configuration

Optionally, you can assign SecSign IDs to the WordPress users of your website users (subscribers). The users themselves can also assign a SecSign ID in their profile.
It’s also possible to activate and deactivate the password-based login for your users.

Fast Registration

In order not to have to create new user accounts yourself you can allow your co-workers or web site users to create user accounts themselves by logging in with their SecSign ID via wp-login.php or the login widget. You can allow them to create a new wordpress user or assign an existing one. After they created an wordpress account, you can assign wordpress roles to your co-workers via the user administration.

I enabled the SecSign ID Plugin and locked myself out

Do the following steps in order to disable the SecSign ID WordPress login:

Open your WordPress directory via (S)FTP and rename the folder wp-content/plugins/secsign to secsign1.
Reload the backend login page and login with your WordPress username and password.
Important: Immediately rename the folder back to secsign.
The SecSign ID WordPress Plugin is now deactivated. Click on “Plugins” in the main menu, look for “SecSign” and activate it.
Adjust options in the SecSign ID settings.

I get the error: The authentication server sent no response or you are not connected to the internet.

The plugin needs to make a connection to https://httpapi.secsign.com to work correctly. This error means it can’t connect to our server. There are some possible reasons for this:

Please check if you have a firewall or router that might block the connection to httpapi.secsign.com on port 443.
Please check that the curl packet (http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php) is installed in your PHP installation. If this is not the case you should see a curl error about this in your webserver logs.
Please check if you have another wordpress plugin which might block the connection to our server. There are several wordpress security plugins doing this.

Please contact us at support@secsign.com if this doesn’t help.
