Active Directory Integration
============================

[](#active-directory-integration)

Integration with the simple active directory api service (). Simply define AD\_INTEGRATION\_URL with the url to the base directory of the api. The following functions will be enabled by default:

- Only allow local WordPress users to login (their usernames must match those in active directory)
- Use the password stored in active-directory for matching WordPress users.
- Update of users basic data like email, first name and last name on login.

Database modifications
======================

[](#database-modifications)

This plugin will alter the index of the user table to require unique usernames. This is not a default behavior for WordPress and may break other plugins related to user management.

WordPress Admin User Actions
============================

[](#wordpress-admin-user-actions)

When bulk import is enabled, the plugin adds an "Update from AD" action to each user in the WordPress admin user list (Users → All Users). This allows administrators to manually update individual user profiles from Active Directory with a single click.

**How to use:**

1. Navigate to Users → All Users in WordPress admin
2. Hover over a user row
3. Click "Update from AD" link
4. The user's profile will be updated with the latest information from Active Directory
5. A success or error message will be displayed

WP-CLI Commands
===============

[](#wp-cli-commands)

The plugin provides WP-CLI commands for managing bulk operations with clear logging. This is the recommended approach for production environments.
