 * @wsites
 * both my WP site and the LDAP are hosted on the same server – so as far as the
   plugin is concerned, it is only doing a lookup on the same local network. In 
   any case, you will need to make sure the port for LDAP (i believe it is 389) 
   is open on any internal firewall.
 * My setting for simple-ldap-authentication are:
 * Ldap server: server.companyname.private
    Base DN = dc=server, dc=companyname,
   dc=private user id search filer – uid
 * simple-ldap-authentication was a breeze to set up. but I am having issues with
   the other 2 AD plugins that were suggested above.
 * What setting should I be using for ‘domain controller’? as I am not using an 
   AD. My server hostname syntax is ‘server.companyname.private’.

 * @wsites – I did not have to tweak anything to get the simple-ldap-authentication
   plugin working. simply pointed it at my OD server, set the correct base DN and
   all was fine.
 * [@kwgagel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kwgagel/), [@semir](https://wordpress.org/support/users/semir/)–
   the two plugins you suggested – will they work with other LDAP setups or just
   AD? I am running a Mac OS server with Open Directory and cannot get either of
   these two plugins to authenticate against the LDAP directory. Even when I set
   both the server and base DN settings to settings that work with simple-ldap-authentication.
 * To give you and idea, my LDAP sever syntax is server.companyname.private. Therefore,
   my base dn should be dc=server,dc=companyname,dc=private am I correct? every 
   time I attempt to authenticate using the test tool in active directory integration,
   I get the ‘authentication failed’ error. What am I missing here?
 * Any help is much appreciated. These plugins look much like what I need – if I
   can get them to work 🙂

 * Hmm…
 * No one with any experience on this?
 * Looks like I will have to do a bulk reset myself when the time comes.
