Streamline User Access with Simple LDAP Login
Simple LDAP Login is a WordPress plugin designed to facilitate seamless integration with LDAP systems, enhancing user authentication in organizations. This free tool supports various directory systems like Active Directory and OpenLDAP, providing an intuitive control panel for administrators. It allows existing WordPress usernames to authenticate against LDAP, and users can be automatically created based on valid LDAP logins. Additionally, login restrictions can be implemented based on specific LDAP groups, ensuring secure access control.
The architecture of Simple LDAP Login adds an authentication filter to the WordPress environment, verifying user credentials against LDAP. If successful, it checks for group membership and the existence of a corresponding WordPress user. If no user exists and user creation is enabled, the plugin can create a new WordPress account for the LDAP user. This functionality streamlines user management and enhances security for organizations using WordPress.
