Google Apps login in wordpress

by

I manage a google apps domain with plenty of users;

I would like to join Google apps with a WordPress based intranet app we’re creating.

Which level of integration could I expect to achieve?

Our hope is to create users in wordpress using their google apps email and let them login using their google apps password, so that they don’t need to remember two different passwords.

How would you suggest we should implement this?

Use the plugin WordPress Social Login:

Does exactly what you want except the user doesn’t actually have to type in their username and password if they are already logged in to Google Apps – they just click the Google icon and it will log them in to WordPress using Google Apps.

And yes, you can create users in WordPress first tied to Google Apps email addresses and then the users can login without needing a registration step.

It provides other auth options (FB, Twitter, etc.) if you’d like.
