Next Active Directory Integration

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 · 58% 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.

   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 will skip it.

   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) authentication required] [AD error code: 8]. or error code -1, depending on which config is chosen. Probably a Synology problem, still: too bad!

   Don’t look at any other plugin for Active Directory Integration, this is the only one worth considering by far! Easy setup, you just need to know the Base DN and stuff.. any decent IT person should be able to manage it easily.

   I had some issues finding out how to configure it correctly. I usually login with “INTERN\john.doe”, but a format like this was not valid. I found out that I had to use “[email protected]” and to add the two suffixes “@intern.example.com” as well as “@example.com”. I activated the automatic user creation and all worked easily. Awesome work!
