Deskripsi
TokenLink SSO Login for Zendesk allows WordPress site administrators to provide seamless, secure single sign-on (SSO) access to Zendesk using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) authentication.
This plugin uses the official Firebase PHP-JWT library (BSD 3-Clause licensed, included and updated for WordPress compliance).
Setup takes less than five minutes using standard WordPress shortcodes — no third-party dependencies, no tracking, no bloat.

Tanya Jawab
-
Is this plugin free?
-
Yes. 100% free. As in free beer. No pro version. No nagware.
-
Is this plugin lightweight?
-
Yes. It loads ~40kb of code when it runs.
-
Does this plugin require any other plugin?
-
No. This is a standalone plugin and does not depend on any other plugin.
-
Does it work with modern Zendesk accounts?
-
Yes. It implements the standard JWT-based SSO endpoint (
/access/jwt). -
Is Composer required?
-
No. The JWT library is bundled directly in the plugin for convenience and meets WordPress PHPCS standards.
-
Does this plugin store any user data?
-
No. It simply authenticates the current logged-in WordPress user and securely passes their name and email to Zendesk for SSO. No personal data is logged or retained by the plugin.
-
Can I customize the login redirect page?
-
Yes. You can set a custom login page under Settings Zendesk SSO Login Redirect Page.
If left blank, it defaults to the standard WordPress login screen. -
Does this plugin support multisite installations?
-
Yes. It can be network-activated or activated on individual subsites. Each site can have its own Zendesk configuration.
-
Can this be used with caching or security plugins?
-
Yes. It’s compatible with common caching and security plugins.
If your caching plugin caches logged-in pages, exclude the page containing[tokenlink_zendesk_login]to ensure proper redirects. -
Will it conflict with existing SSO or login plugins?
-
No, it runs independently. It only triggers when the
[tokenlink_zendesk_login]shortcode is executed, so it won’t interfere with other authentication systems. -
Does this plugin work with Cloudflare or reverse proxies?
-
Yes. As long as HTTPS and PHP sessions function normally, JWT SSO works over any proxy or CDN.
-
I’m getting a 502 or redirect loop. What should I check?
-
Verify your Zendesk subdomain and shared secret are correct, and that your Zendesk SSO settings point to your WordPress page URL containing
[tokenlink_zendesk_login].

Log Perubahan
1.0.10 – 2026-05-28
- Verified compatible with WordPress 7.0 (released 2026-05-20). No DataViews or classic meta box dependencies.
- Added modern plugin header fields: Requires at least, Requires PHP, Tested up to, Text Domain.
- Moved SSO redirect from the shortcode callback to the
template_redirectaction (priority 1) so headers are always available; runs ahead of most caching plugins. - Added gates so preview, customizer, REST, AJAX, cron, XML-RPC and WP-CLI requests are not redirected.
- Honour
post_password_required()so password-protected pages keep their gate. - New
tokenlink_zendesk_sso_page_matchfilter so page builders (Elementor, Bricks, etc.) can flag SSO pages whose shortcode lives outside post_content. - Loop guard: if the configured login redirect resolves back to the SSO page itself, fall back to the default WP login URL.
- External login redirect URLs (off-site IdPs) are now actually followed instead of silently falling back to wp-login.php.
- Security: JWT now includes
exp(now+120s) andnbf(now-60s, 60s skew tolerance) claims; URL-safejti; 128-bit entropy. - Security: subdomain strictly validated at both save time and use time (lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens, RFC-style DNS label), rejecting pasted URLs or malicious strings.
- Security: redirects now send
nocache_headers()and HTTP 303 so intermediate caches cannot cross-serve a JWT to another user. - Security: Shared Secret field changed to password input with autocomplete disabled.
- Hardened login-redirect option sanitizer: requires empty, “/”-rooted path, or full http(s):// URL; rejects protocol-relative and other schemes.
- Shared secret sanitizer relaxed to trim-only so legitimate Zendesk-generated secrets are not mutated.
display_nameis HTML-decoded and tag-stripped before going into the JWT;user_emailis lowercased to avoid duplicate Zendesk users.- Localized previously hardcoded English strings in the settings UI.
- Guarded
get_plugin_data()call with explicitwp-admin/includes/plugin.phpinclude. - New activation notice points administrators at the settings page on first activation.
