TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site administrators who already run an LDAP directory and want to use it for user authentication. It solves the problem of managing users separately by letting WordPress authenticate against LDAP while syncing user data and roles into WordPress' own database.

  • Flexible LDAP filter configuration
  • Auto-creates and updates WordPress users
  • Fallback login if LDAP unavailable
  • Maps LDAP attributes to WordPress roles
