@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, @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.
