2. Login to Wordpress as admin, select "Plugins" from the menu and activate the plugin named "Web File Share Single Sign-On"

## Install the Web File Share plugin

1. Open the file "/path-to-WebFileShare/customizables/config.php" in a text editor and change the line #5 like this:

$config\['system'\]\['custom\_auth\_file'\] = "auth/wordpress.php";
