Since nicename is a unique field, it causes an error and can't create the user. I added it to the code using the persons LDAP username as the nicename, but might change that later. Not sure when "nicename" was added to the database, but this is necessary for version 0.9.0.4. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-2712 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 21:36:07 +0000 slambert1971 2712@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Well, I was able to get this plugin to work with a major hack. Our Active Directory server requires a prebind username/password, which this plugin did not support. I added functionality for that and to set the field name of the email (since ours was not mail) as well as account filter (since ours was not uid) in the options screen. Works well, but have to get approval from management to share with other users. </p> <p>If your active directory servers requires a prebind, this plugin WILL NOT work without modification. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-2709 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:28:41 +0000 villel 2709@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>I cannot get this to work with the latest bbpress version. </p> <p>LDAP accounts don't work, and even local accounts stop working as soon as I enable LDAP accounts. I had to remove the plugin files to be able to log back in to a keymaster account.</p> <p>The wpmu-ldap plugin works on my site, so I think I know what to use for each configuration setting. But nothing I've tried seems to work. </p> <p>Does anyone have this working with the latest bbpress? </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-2600 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:15:26 +0000 rossgrady 2600@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>@Anonymous, here's how the domain field works. Let's say you have an LDAP directory for your organization, we'll call it example.com, and your particular set of users are the developers, so you have them in an ou called developers. Your username is anonymous, so your DN might be:</p> <p><code>uid=anonymous,ou=developers,o=example.com</code></p> <p>Or, if you also keep machine names in your LDAP directory, then you might keep your people separate in another ou, so your DN might be:</p> <p><code>uid=anonymous,ou=People,ou=developers,o=example.com</code></p> <p>In either case, for the purposes of this plugin, the "domain" is everything after the uid=&lt;whatever&gt; bit -- so in the first example, you'd put "ou=developers,o=example.com" into the Domain box. In the second example you'd put "ou=People,ou=developers,o=example.com" into the Domain box.</p> <p>What's happening is that the plugin is building the LDAP DN that it's going to use to try to authenticate your users, so it takes the username they supply, and it inserts it into a string that looks more or less like:</p> <p><code>uid=$user,$domain</code></p> <p>If your LDAP directory stores usernames in an attrib other than uid, you will need to edit the plugin file manually and change that. This is also true if you keep email addresses in something other than 'mail'.</p> <p>Speaking of editing the plugin, I switched to the 1.0Alpha release of bbpress and had to edit the plugin file, replacing the call to the deprecated "bb_user_exists" function with the name of the new/correct function, "bb_get_user." In case that helps anybody else. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-1436 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 17:27:20 +0000 Anonymous 1436@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Has *anyone* figured out how to get this working with the Domain and Options fields? How do I tell the plugin where to look up the user data? </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-882 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 18:03:21 +0000 jsox78 882@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>I too was hoping you could provide some incite into what information is required for the Domain field. I've tried a few different DN strings that I know are valid for my company's LDAP directory and none have worked to this point. Any assistance you can provide would be great. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-632 Sat, 10 Nov 2007 16:26:40 +0000 grahamar 632@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I have just tried this plugin and - being a newbie - I am a little stumped.<br /> I put in the LDAP url and port but don't know what "DOMAIN" means.<br /> How could I find this out?<br /> I have a wiki that also uses LDAP and this works fine, so I am using the url and port<br /> settings for that - which look like:</p> <p>ldap://mycompany-ds:389/dc=mycompany,dc=com?uid?sub?(objectClass=*)</p> <p>I don't know where the "Domain" is in the above string or how I could determine it.</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p> <p>Graham </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-271 Wed, 30 May 2007 08:01:24 +0000 sambauers 271@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Version 2.0.1 is PHP4 compatible </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-60 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 04:58:16 +0000 sambauers 60@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Never mind, I just found out where to do it. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-59 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 02:29:58 +0000 sambauers 59@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Can the external link here be changed to <a href="http://www.network.net.au/bbpress/plugins/ldap/ldap-authentication.latest.zip" rel="nofollow">http://www.network.net.au/bbpress/plugins/ldap/ldap-authentication.latest.zip</a></p> <p>Thanks </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/ldap-authentication/#post-54 Mon, 22 Jan 2007 05:08:03 +0000 sambauers 54@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ Allows authentication via an LDAP service
