I am not able to get the configuration right.

Make sure that if there is a firewall, you OPEN THE FIREWALL to allow incoming requests to your Active Directory / LDAP Directory. Please open port 389(636 for SSL or ldaps). Host – 52.55.147.107 – This is the host from where the Active Directory / LDAP connection, as well as authentication requests, are going to be made.

I am locked out of my account and can’t log in with either my WordPress credentials or LDAP credentials. What should I do?

Firstly, please check if the user you are trying to login with exists in your WordPress. To unlock yourself, rename miniorange-wp-ldap-login plugin name. You will be able to login with your WordPress credentials. After logging in, rename the plugin back to miniorange-wp-ldap-login. If the problem persists, activate, deactivate and again activate the plugin.

LDAP / Active Directory configurations are correct and test authentication is also working but the active directory login is not working on the website.

Please make sure that the active directory login is enabled. You can check this by going to the “Sign-In Settings” Tab. The “Enable LDAP login” checkbox should be checked. This will enable users to use Active Directory login / LDAP Login on the WordPress website.

I am not able to connect my AD / LDAP Server over LDAPS connection.

Once you download your certificate, you need to get it uploaded on our miniOrange Cloud IDP Servers.
