 * I don’t care that the plugin is FREE [@borisv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/borisv/).
   I always intended on purchasing the UM plugin if we can get it to work like it
   did a few months ago. I really like UM, it’s the best membership plugin I have
   used.
 * OK on further testing. It seems that the UM login just ignores how WordPress 
   is configured. WordPress is using OpenLDAP for username and passwords. If I change
   the users password in LDAP, the UM login page comes back with unrecognised password.
   wp-login.php works fine with the new password. If I change the password in LDAP
   back to the original password, the UM login works again. So logic tells me that
   UM login page is not working in the same way as wp-login.php does. What php file
   do I need to look into for the login functions of UM?

 * So basically what you are saying is that if you use an external security provider
   like LDAP or Active Directory your plugin is not supported?
 * I’m happy to purchase the full plugin today, but only if it works. IF I do that
   will you try and support me?

 * OpenLDAP is a free, open source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access
   Protocol (LDAP) developed by the OpenLDAP Project.
 * Think of it like Microsoft Active Directory.
 * All of our users credentials are stored on this server. When a user does not 
   exist in WordPress, I have a plugin that automatically creates the user in WordPress
   when they try to log into WordPress. But if your default login form is being 
   used this does not happen with a properly formatted email address. If I use a
   not formatted email address, so I drop the @ sign and replace it with a ., everything
   works.
 * I can create a video for you to see what happens if you like?
