 * I have been trying to get Active Directory Authentication to work on my wordpress
   installation for a while now but can’t seem to get it working. I downloaded one
   plug in that has a test feature.
 * After putting all the settings in when I run the test I get a message that OpenLDAP
   is not installed.
 * I tried to install OpenLDAP but the installation is pretty confusing. I don’t
   think I need the server I just need the client. Instead can I use winbind perhaps
   would that work?
 * Also will I require a domain admins account to configure either?
