This Plugin allows WordPress to authenticate, authorize, create and update against an Active Directory Domain.

It is very easy to set up. Just activate the plugin, type in a domain controller, and you're done. But there are more Features:

• authenticate against more than one AD Server
• authorize users by Active Directory group memberships
• auto create and update users that can authenticate against AD
• mapping of AD groups to WordPress roles
• use TLS for secure communication to AD Servers (recommended)
• use non standard port for communication to AD Servers
• protection against brute force attacks
• user and/or admin e-mail notification on failed login attempts
• multi-language support (english and german included)
• determine WP display name from AD attributes (sAMAccountName, displayName, description, SN, CN, givenName or mail)
• tool for testing with detailed debug informations
• enable/disable password changes for local (non AD) WP users

Active Directory Integration is based upon Jonathan Marc Bearak's great plugin Active Directory Authentication and Scott Barnett's adLDAP, a very useful PHP class.

Requirements

• WordPress since 2.7.1 (or higher)
• PHP 5
• LDAP support
• OpenSSL Support for TLS (recommended)

Known Issues

• XMLRPC will only work with WordPress 2.8 and above.
