<h4>Architecture</h4>
Simple LDAP Login adds an authentication filter to WordPress that authentication requests must pass. In doing so, it makes several decisions.
<ul>
<li>Can the provided credentials be authenticated against LDAP?</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>If so, is the LDAP user a member of the required LDAP groups (if any)?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>Does a matching WordPress user exist?</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>If so, log the user in.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li>If not, is user creation enabled?</li>
</ul>

This is high level overview. This should answer the philosophical questions about how the plugin works. If the plugin is unable to authenticate the user, it should pass it down the chain to WordPress. (Unless LDAP Exclusive is turned on, in which case it won’t.)
