authLdap

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Very flexible plugin, stable codebase, excellent documentation. I especially like the clean configuration interface, which enables me to set the LDAP search filters easily. Plus, you don’t really have to do much – the default settings are what you need when authenticating against an openLDAP instance.

   This plugin is the only one in WP.org which works out of the box, it’s super easy to set up and even has user group mapping included. Thanks once again and totally recommended to every one. Karolina
