LDAP authentication is configured on a site-wide (as opposed to per-blog) level, so only Network Admin accounts have access to the configuration to LDAP connection information.
Please make sure you have PHP compiled with LDAP support. This will show up as an LDAP section in your phpinfo() if it is correct.
Remember – all the code for the plugin was contributed by volunteers, and you can show your gratitude by giving back to the community!
<h3>How It Works</h3>
When enabled, this plugin can automatically create WordPress user accounts and blogs for LDAP-authenticated users. Assuming user credentials authenticate against the LDAP server, creating local accounts and blogs follows this 
algorithm:
Create a new WPMU User, with LDAP username and a randomly generated password. 
Some user information, such as first and last name, is extracted from the 
 information returned from the LDAP server. 
Actions for user creation and activation are triggered. 
The user’s domain / URL are created depending on plugin configuration (i.e., 
 VHost vs SubDir). 
If the option is set, a blog is created, with path and name based on the LDAP 
 username and the blog is activated with the user being Administrator, and 
 appropriate actions are triggered.
It should be noted that even though a random password is created for a user (for WPMU accounts), it is never displayed to the user. This is intentional so that there is no confusion as to which password should be used; it will always be using LDAP credentials. As a result, though, if ever LDAP is disabled or if the server is unavailable, users created with LDAP authentication will be unable to log in unless their passwords are reset.

This plugin turns your WordPress Dashboard into a familiar management interface for an enterprise-scale LDAP Directory Information Tree (DIT). Configure a connection to your LDAPv3 directory server, and from then on any modifications you make to your WordPress user database through the WordPress admin screens will be reflected in your LDAP database. This offers a simpler and more convenient front-end for managing user account information to support single sign-on (SSO), identity management, and other enterprise functions.

All user accounts on the WordPress side are mirrored as <a href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2798.txt" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>inetOrgPerson</code> (RFC 2798)</a> entries on the LDAP side. The following WordPress user account fields to LDAP attribute translations take place when a new WordPress user is created:
<ul>
<li>The WordPress <code>user_login</code> field becomes the <code>uid</code> attribute in the LDAP database.</li>
<li>The WordPress <code>user_email</code> field becomes the <code>mail</code> attribute in the LDAP database.</li>
<li>The WordPress <code>display_name</code> field becomes the <code>displayName</code> attribute in the LDAP database.</li>
<li>The WordPress <code>user_pass</code> field becomes the <code>userPassword</code> attribute in the LDAP database.</li>
</ul>
There is no mapping for the WordPress user ID number on the LDAP side. Instead, users are uniquely identified by their fully-qualified Distinguished Name (DN). A user’s DN is automatically composed by combining their WordPress <code>user_login</code> with the WordPress Multisite’s configured LDAP Search Base setting. For instance, by default, a WordPress Multisite with WP-LDAP installed running at <code>https://example.com/</code> with a user whose username is <code>exampleuser</code> will automatically be mirrored over LDAP to the user identified as <code>uid=exampleuser,dc=example,dc=com</code>.
In addition to the above mappings, the following optional mappings also take place if or when the user updates their user profile:
<ul>
<li>The WordPress <code>first_name</code> field becomes the <code>givenName</code> attribute in the LDAP database.</li>
<li>The WordPress <code>last_name</code> field becomes the <code>sn</code> attribute in the LDAP database.</li>
<li>The WordPress <code>nickname</code> field becomes the <code>cn</code> attribute in the LDAP database.</li>
<li>The WordPress <code>description</code> field becomes the <code>description</code> attribute in the LDAP database.</li>
<li>The WordPress <code>user_url</code> field becomes the <code>labeledURI</code> attribute in the LDAP database.</li>
<li>The WordPress user’s avatar becomes the <code>jpegPhoto</code> attribute in the LDAP database. (Not yet implemented.)</li>
</ul>
Moreover, WP-LDAP is aware of certain features provided by other plugins. These include:
<ul>
<li>The WordPress user’s S/MIME certificate (<code>smime_certificate</code> field) becomes the <code>userSMIMECertificate</code> attribute in the LDAP database. (This functionality is provided by the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-pgp-encrypted-emails/" rel="ugc">WP PGP Encrypted Emails</a> plugin and that plugin must be installed and activated for this to work.)</li>
</ul>
This plugin is designed for medium to large deployments of WordPress Multisite (or Multi-Network) instances, originally developed as a collaboration with the <a href="https://glocal.coop/activist-network-platform/" rel="nofollow ugc">Glocal Coop’s Activist Network Platform</a> project. If you run multiple WordPress Multisite Networks, you can configure each WP Network with different LDAP settings. This plugin does not currently support single-site installs; please <a href="https://github.com/meitar/wp-ldap/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">post an issue on GitHub</a> if you want to use LDAP data stores with a WP single-site install and we can discuss use cases.
