Enables LDAP for user authentication, password management and role management.
FAQ
Is the password expirary feature optional?
Yes. Simply leave the LDAP configuration attribute emtpy to disable this feature.
Does the plugin offer an easy way to create new users in LDAP?
Yes. The plugin accepts a URL reference to your LDAP administration interface.
What do I do if my users are already defined in my WP database?
Not a problem. The user_login value will be mapped in the plugin setup to an
attribute in LDAP. Create your LDAP person records with the same value on the
attribute you map to user_login. Then next time the user logs in, the LDAP will
begin to manage the records in the local DB as normal.
Does the LDAP plugin supercede the base WP login?
Yes. Once the plugin is enabled, authentication control is passed on to the LDAP system.
