The Staff/Employee Business Directory for Active Directory plugin is used to perform an LDAP search and display the Staff / Employees present in your Active Directory on a WordPress site using a shortcode. The users / staff / employee details will be fetched from the Active Directory dynamically. That means the users will not be created in WordPress, and neither will their information be stored. Our plugin will seamlessly allow you to perform a Staff / Employee search through your business directory, employee directory, staff directory, or any other Active Directory implementations from your WordPress site and display the information you would like to see.

FAQ

Why am I getting an error while trying to Test LDAP Connection?

Please make sure that the LDAP Server URL, Username and Password that you have entered are correct.
In the Username field, please enter either the UserPrincipalName or DistinguishedName (DN) attribute of any user present in your LDAP server.
Check if the LDAP server URL is accessible from your hosted site and the port 389 is open. { To check this, run this command on your WordPress server: >telnet < LDAP server URL or IP >:389 }
If you are using a firewall, open the firewall to allow incoming requests to your LDAP from your WordPress Server IP and port 389.

If you have any queries or if you need any sort of assistance configuring our plugin, you can contact us at ldapsupport@xecurify.com. Our customer support team is available 24×7 to assist you in any way possible.

What is meant by Search Base in my LDAP environment?

Search Base is a container / path where your LDAP/AD users that you want to search are present.
This is the container in which the Staff/Employee Business Directory For Active Directory Plugin will search for LDAP users.
The Search Base value can be obtained from the distinguishedName attribute of a container / node where the LDAP/AD users are present.

For example, if you want to search all LDAP/AD users in the Organizational Unit (OU) named “LDAPUsers. The Search Base would be OU=LDAPUsers, DC=DomainName, DC=SubDomainName.
If you have any queries or if you need any sort of assistance in configuring our plugin, you can contact us at ldapsupport@xecurify.com. Our customer support team is available 24×7 to assist you in any way possible.

I can not add more LDAP user attributes in the Attributes Configuration. Why?

To add and display unlimited LDAP user attributes, please upgrade your existing plan to the premium plan.

Is it possible to display only active (non-disabled) users from the LDAP/AD Server?

Yes, It is possible using the custom search Filter feature, which is present in the premium version of our plugin.

How does the Custom Search Filter work?

Custom LDAP search filters allow you to apply advanced filters to your search. You can restrict / allow specific users belonging to LDAP groups or Organizational Units. For Example, If you want to display users from Sales Department, then you can do this using the below search filter:

(&(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)(sAMAccountName=?)(department=’Sales’))

Does this plugin store any staff / employee information in the WordPress database?

No, this plugin does not store any LDAP user’s data in the WordPress database. Our Staff / Employee Business Directory For Active Directory plugin dynamically fetches and displays users’ information on the fly.
