WordPress credentials#

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

Prerequisites#

  • Create a WordPress account or deploy WordPress on a server.

Supported authentication methods#

  • Basic auth

Refer to WordPress's API documentation for more information about the service.

Using basic auth#

To configure this credential, you'll need:

  • Your WordPress Username
  • A WordPress application Password
  • Your WordPress URL
  • Decide whether to Ignore SSL Issues

Using this credential involves three steps:

  1. Enable two-step authentication.
  2. Create an application password.
  3. Set up the credential.

Refer to the detailed instructions below for each step.

Enable two-step authentication#

To generate an application password, you must first enable Two-Step Authentication in WordPress. If you've already done this, skip to the next section.

  1. Open your WordPress profile.
  2. Select Security from the left menu.
  3. Select Two-Step Authentication. The Two-Step Authentication page opens.
  4. If Two-Step Authentication isn't enabled, you must enable it.
  5. Choose whether to enable it using an authenticator app or SMS codes and follow the on-screen instructions.

Refer to WordPress's Enable Two-Step Authentication for detailed instructions.

Create an application password#

With Two-Step Authentication enabled, you can now generate an application password:

  1. From the WordPress Security > Two-Step Authentication page, select + Add new application password in the Application passwords section.
  2. Enter an Application name, like SMS-iT Workflow integration.
  3. Select Generate Password.
  4. Copy the password it generates. You'll use this in your SMS-iT Workflow credential.

Set up the credential#

Congratulations! You're now ready to set up your SMS-iT Workflow credential:

  1. Enter your WordPress Username in your SMS-iT Workflow credential.
  2. Enter the application password you copied above as the Password in your SMS-iT Workflow credential.
  3. Enter the URL of your WordPress site as the WordPress URL.
  4. Optional: Use the Ignore SSL Issues to choose whether you want the SMS-iT Workflow credential to connect even if SSL certificate validation fails (turned on) or whether to respect SSL certificate validation (turned off).
