LDAP Authentication for all but Admins

  • I’m trying to set up the situation where all LDAP users (subscribers) are always authenticated against the AD, but wordpress administrators are authenticated against the wordpress DB. When I select LDAP exclusive, it will fail because the Admin is not in the AD. However, I want all other user authentication to be AD controlled.

    Thanks for your help with this.

  • I am planning to do exactly the same thing. Here’s how I plan to configure :

    In Simple LDAP Login plugin: [Advanced tab]

    • LDAP only — uncheck
    • User creations — check

    This allows users to authenticate and user accounts in LDAP who are new to WP to have accounts automatically created.

    Allow Admin direct access :
    In WordPress : Network Admin

    • You must already have an Admin account
    • in Network Admin > Settings > Registration setting > Allow new registrations : Disabled
      Now the existing Admin account can login but new users cannot create local accounts — they are defaulted to authenticate via LDAP.

      I think this should work if your LDAP connection is working.
