## Description

The eID-Login plugin allows to use the German eID-card and similar electronic identity
documents for secure and privacy-friendly login to WordPress. For this purpose, 
a so-called eID-Client, such as the AusweisApp2 or the Open eCard App and eID-Service
are required. In the default configuration a suitable eID-Service is provided without
any additional costs.

## Installation

The plugin can be installed like every other WordPress plugin, which means directly
from within the WordPress instance or via download.

For the configuration, a wizard with an integrated help section guides you through
the different steps.

 1. Select Identity Provider
     For the usage of the eID-Login plugin a service which
    makes the eID accessible is needed. This service is called Identity Provider or
    in short IdP. You can choose to use the preconfigured SkIDentity service or select
    another service.
 2. Configuration at the Identity Provider
     At the Identity Provider your WordPress
    instance, which serves as Service Provider, must be registered. The process of 
    registration depends on the respective Identity Provider. The information needed
    for registration is provided in step 2.
 3. Connect eID
     In order to use a German eID (“Personalausweis”) or another eID for
    the login at WordPress, the eID must be connected to an user account.
