The security is very important on a web site, although that will be explained about Wordpress Security. Wordpress is a CMS that is used by beginner blogger or professional. Wordpress has given a good security standard on blog or our site, uses Wordpress CMS.Let's secure our Website or Blog, has been using Wordpress CMS :
- Downlad http authentication plugin
This plugin allows you to use your webserver for authentication, in our case Apache - We've already covered how to add two-factor authentication to Apache using radius.
- Be sure to add your WiKID username as an administrator in Wordpress. Obviously, you can add the Admin user to WiKID as well, but it might be better to have a separate account.
Let's restrict /wp-admin/ and wp-login.php in Apache:
Satisfy all
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider xradius
AuthName "Please enter your username and WiKID one-time passcode."
AuthXRadiusAddServer "192.168.1.171:1812" "openid_secret"
AuthXRadiusTimeout 7
AuthXRadiusRetries 2
require valid-user
Satisfy all
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider xradius
AuthName "Please enter your username and WiKID one-time passcode."
AuthXRadiusAddServer "192.168.1.171:1812" "openid_secret"
AuthXRadiusTimeout
AuthXRadiusRetries 2
require valid-user
Now when you try to access the administration section of Wordpress, you will be prompted for your WiKID username and the one-time passcode.
Note: Be sure, you have covered apache authentication using radius, before use these article.
