Excellent plugin
Works as advertised, SImple and easy to use.
Minimal and Best
For multiple social login accounts, I prefer Nextend Social Login and Register. But for internal web or website that has only admin team, no users, I think this plugin is the best.
Does not work in multisite
works fine for one site but not for multisite, need to add a notice about it
Next Active Directory Integration Reviews
Works as intended
Thank you for your work in this plugin and make it available for us. It does excatly what I was looking for :). Maybe you add try-catch to your code, that those themes who break the monolog.logger.php
Doesn’t work with Synology AD (SAMBA)
Doesn’t work when using a Synology NAS as LDAP/AD server. Error: Creating adLDAP object failed. Bind to Active Directory failed. Check the login credentials and/or server details. [AD: Strong(er) auth
Best LDAP Plugin!
Work for all your Active Directory login needs. Thanks!
