This plugin will enable WP authentication and role management from LDAP server. 
Users who log in to your WP site are authenticated by first matching the 
username input against an attribute to local the RDN. Then a bind is performed 
against the RDN. Upon successful bind, authentication is approved. Local WP 
user management is engaged by initializing and maintaining user DB records.
Simply create your users in your LDAP directly. Define access rights or “roles” 
to specific WP sites. When the user logs into the WP site, the local DB user 
entry is created.
Use LDAP to define users in one place for access to one or many WP sites.
User passwords in the local DB are replaced with jumbled text and are unusable. 
All password information is maintained in LDAP.
User information ( Display Name, Nick Name, Nice Name, First Name, Last Name ) 
are maintained in master form in LDAP and stored and updated (synced) to the 
local DB when the user logs in.

Use your existing LDAP as authentication-backend for your wordpress!
So what are the differences to other WordPress-LDAP-Authentication-Plugins?
<ul>
<li>Flexible: You are totaly free in which LDAP-backend to use. Due to the extensive configuration you can freely decide how to do the authentication of your users. It simply depends on your filters</li>
<li>Independent: As soon as a user logs in, it is added/updated to the WordPress’ user-database to allow wordpress to always use the correct data. You only have to administer your users once.</li>
<li>Failsafe: Due to the users being created in WordPress’ User-database they can also log in when the LDAP-backend currently is gone.</li>
<li>Role-Aware: You can map WordPress’ roles to values of an existing LDAP-attribute.</li>
</ul>

This plugin is the only one in WP.org which works out of the box, it's super easy to set up and even has user group mapping included. Thanks once again and totally recommended to every one.
