 * Hi Heiglandreas,
 * I may have misunderstood but was your reply perhaps pertaining to the uid= in
   the Filter section ? My question was regarding the LDAP URI field that is higher
   up in the “General Server Settings” section.
 * The example given is: ldap://uid=adminuser,dc=example,c=com:secret@ldap.example.
   com dc=basePath,dc=example,c=com
 * I thought that the AuthLDAP plugin would simply take the username and password
   that the wordpress user had entered at the wp-admin login prompt and see if the
   same credentials successfully authenticated via the LDAP directory.
 * So i still can’t see what i should replace the “adminuser” with in the example
   given above. Surely the user being authenticated should dynamically depend on
   the username entered in the wordpress login box ?
 * Many Thanks
 * David

 * Hi Heiglandreas,
 * Many thanks for the swift response ! Right, well as we don’t use Email-Address
   based WordPress accounts i guess i am still wondering what, in our case, should
   directly follow uid= in the LDAP URI field within the General Server Settings
   section.
 * Many Thanks Again
 * David
