    Hello,

    Can you please suggest for the below error?

    Directory Authentication Error: wpDirAuth config error: No directory server available for authentication.

    I get the the above error when tried to login through the wordpress admin panel.

    I am currently working on the localhost having path as https://localhost/testsite/

    Any video tutorial or explained document for the plugin will be very helpful.

    WordPress Settings:

    Enable Directory Authentication? Yes
    Require SSL Login? No
    Automatically Register Authenticated Users? No
    Enable SSL Connectivity? No SSL Connectivity
    Directory Servers (Domain Controllers) ? localhost/testsite/
    Account Filter : shweta.mukta
    Account Suffix : @employsure.com.au
    Base DN : empty (Not sure what to fill in)
    Bind DN : empty (Not sure what to fill in)
    Bind Password : my selected password
    Authentication Groups: empty
    Institution Name: Employsure
    Marketing name for Institutional Single-Sign-On ID : empty
    Login Screen Message: Employsure members can login directly using their institutional password.
    Password Change Message: To change a Employsure password, please refer to the official institutional password policy.

    Thanks,

    The directory server needs to be the address of your ldap/ad instance that you want to connect to to authenticate against. It’s usually something like ldap.employsure.com.au

    Bind DN and Bind Password are for the user account that you’ll use to log into the ldap instance if your ldap instance doesn’t allow for anonymous searches.

    Account Filter is the LDAP user attribute that wpDirAuth should use in order to find the user attempting to authenticate. This attribute is typically samAccountName, userPrincipalName, guid, etc.

    I would suggest installing either Apache Directory Studio or Softerra’s LDAP browser and use those to figure out all of the connection settings for your LDAP instance.

    were you able to find the domain of your ldap instance?

    Hi Gilzow,

    Thanks for getting back to me. I am very busy in other projects now. I could not get time to look into it again. Hope your solution should work for me. I will work on this as soon as I am free from the priority works :). Let me know if you have any video online which can help me to understand the plugin and usage ??

    Because LDAP/AD setups can vary greatly, you have to know how your particular instance is set up and works in order to know how to configure the plugin. I would suggest installing either Apache Directory Studio or Softerra’s LDAP Browser to figure out the settings for your particular instance and then use those settings to configure the plugin.
