Simple, yet Mighty
by Sibastian·8 years ago
I struggled with 3 other LDAP/AD authentication plugins before I ran across this one. The settings were so simple, and yet it worked from the start. No registering for third-party accounts, no expensive packages, nothing; just simple, easy to understand settings for a very powerful little plugin.
Thank you 100 times over for this. We have a lot of turnover in our organization, and this saves us the hassle of having to create website accounts for all our employees as well as AD accounts.
The best!

The really simple, it’s the best plugin!
Not Very Simple
by joshkrz·9 years ago
Not as simple as it could be and I never actually got it to work. Didn’t really know what to type in each field, the documentation could do with being clearer and more verbose.
Needs a testing tool with some sort of log to pinpoint any issues.
Just works on my sites

I’ve used this plugin to authenticate against eDirectory and Active Directory. So far, it just works. Kudos to Clifton G.!

Unbelievable how much time has passed since the last update.
Already so much has changed in the plugin, I’m afraid it updated.
