Plugin Description
This Plugin allows WordPress to authenticate, authorize, create and update users against an Active Directory Domain.

- authenticate against more than one AD Server
- authorize users by Active Directory group memberships
- auto create and update users that can authenticate against AD
- mapping of AD groups to WordPress roles
- use TLS (or LDAPS) for secure communication to AD Servers (recommended)
- use non standard port for communication to AD Servers
- protection against brute force attacks
- user and/or admin e-mail notification on failed login attempts
- multi-language support (English, German, Norwegian and Belorussian included)
- determine WP display name from AD attributes (sAMAccountName, displayName, description, SN, CN, givenName or mail)
- setting of user meta data to any possible AD attribute
- show selected AD attributes (see above) in user profile
- tool for testing with detailed debug informations
- enable/disable password changes for local (non AD) WP users
- set users local WordPress password on first and/or on every successfull login
- WordPress 3 compatibility, including Multisite (work in progress)
- SyncBack – write changed “Additional User Attributes” back to Active Directory if you want.
- Bulk Import – import and update users from Active Directory, for example by cron job.
