Normally, when a new user logs into Moodle for the first time and a Moodle account is automatically created, Moodle pulls the user's details from LDAP and stores them in the Moodle user profile according to the LDAP plugin's settings.
auth_ldap_syncplus extends this behaviour of pulling user details from LDAP:
With auth_ldap_syncplus, you can create an user manually on Site Administration -> Users -> Accounts -> Add a new user. The only thing you have to specify correctly is the username (which corresponds to the username in LDAP). All other details like first name or email address can be filled with placeholder content. After you click the "Create user" button, Moodle pulls the other user's details from LDAP and creates the user account correctly with the details from LDAP.
