Use your existing LDAP flexible as authentication backend for WordPress
== Description ==
Use your existing LDAP as authentication-backend for your wordpress!
So what are the differences to other Wordpress-LDAP-Authentication-Plugins?
* 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
* 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.
* Failsafe: Due to the users being created in Wordpress' User-database they can also log in when the LDAP-backend currently is gone.
* Role-Aware: You can map Wordpress' roles to values of an existing LDAP-attribute.
For more Information on the configuration have a look at https://github.com/heiglandreas/authLdap
== Installation ==
1. Upload the extracted folder `authLdap` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Configure the Plugin via the 'authLdap'-Configuration-Page.
