AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Simple LDAP Login is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Login category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 18 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

Intuitive control panel.
Architecture Simple LDAP Login adds an authentication filter to WordPress that authentication requests must pass. In doing so, it makes several decisions.
Can the provided credentials be authenticated against LDAP?
If so, is the LDAP user a member of the required LDAP groups (if any)?
Does a matching WordPress user exist?
If so, log the user in.
If not, is user creation enabled?
Create the user and log them in.
This is high level overview. This should answer the philosophical questions about how the plugin works. If the plugin is unable to authenticate the user, it should pass it down the chain to WordPress. (Unless LDAP Exclusive is turned on, in which case it won’t.)
