 * Hi — I want to confirm my understanding about how this plugin works.
 * What I want to do:
    1. A user in my external database loses his status (leaves,
   terminates, whatever). 2. I remove him from my external database. 3. As a result,
   I want him to no longer have access to WordPress.
 * It seems that this is not how this plugin works…correct? I was hoping that with
   this plugin, the user authenticates against the external database EVERY TIME 
   THEY LOG IN. However it appears, that they only authenticate the first time, 
   after which their username and password is created in WordPress, and forever 
   after, they authenticate against WordPress. Correct?
 * Thanks,
 * Steve
