ཞིབ་བརྗོད།
This plugin will enable WP authentication and role management from LDAP server.
Users who log in to your WP site are authenticated by first matching the
username input against an attribute to local the RDN. Then a bind is performed
against the RDN. Upon successful bind, authentication is approved. Local WP
user management is engaged by initializing and maintaining user DB records.
Simply create your users in your LDAP directly. Define access rights or “roles”
to specific WP sites. When the user logs into the WP site, the local DB user
entry is created.
Use LDAP to define users in one place for access to one or many WP sites.
User passwords in the local DB are replaced with jumbled text and are unusable.
All password information is maintained in LDAP.
User information ( Display Name, Nick Name, Nice Name, First Name, Last Name )
are maintained in master form in LDAP and stored and updated (synced) to the
local DB when the user logs in.

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.
