</ul>
<h4>Architecture</h4>
<p>Simple LDAP Login adds an authentication filter to WordPress that authentication requests must pass. In doing so, it makes several decisions.</p>
<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>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>

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

<li>Create the user and log them in.</li>

<p>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.)</p>

<p>Having a single login for every service is a must in large organizations. This plugin allows you to integrate WordPress with LDAP for each individual site. You can create different base dn’s for every site and still have only one list of users.</p>
<p>First of all this plugin is based upon the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-ldap-login/installation/" rel="ugc">simple LDAP Login</a> I made some changes which I think are handy.</p>
<p>When you want to manage multiple single wordpress installations, password management becomes crucial. When someone’s password has been cracked you would have to change it everywhere wouldn’t it be simpler to just edit it on one place.</p>
