Hello,

I come back after several research the connection vBulletin 5 and AD (Active Directory) and I found a solution inspired by the old solutions. I would give it to avoid loss of time for people who have this problem.

I test the connection ldap vBulletin 5.1.5 and 5.1.6 and it worked.
My lack of knowledge vbulletin I am not come to an interface in the admincp. All I've managed to do is direct changes to the source code and that is not always advisable.
I am open for all aids to improve my solution.

The operating principle:
+
I made changes on vbulletin style to avoid problems change password and email.
Also, the procedure of actionLogin () that will enable ldap and local connection.


Download the file.zip and you find all the steps to run the ldap connection. I said that I have tested this method with vBulletin 5.1.5 and 5.1.6.

If you have problems I remain available to help you.

Good luck :D

There is some documentation of the VB5 API here- http://vbulletin.wayneluke.com/api/ - it may not be complete or up to date but it is a start.

Edit 2016 - API documentation moved to http://vb5support.com/resources/api/

Hey Soidberg,

Right now I'm at exam time and I did not have much time to redo the changes for version 4.2 but I promise you that from the beginning of June I'll post the solution.

Thank you for your understanding

Hi,

I didn't the question. This is not a mod or plugin but a method to use the ldap connexion.

Anyone actively working this mod? Unable to import the template in to VB5 5.2.3 or 5.2.4 says XML is not in the proper format. Would really like to get VB5 working with AD.

The VP5 API Documentation I posted about earlier was moved some time ago to: http://vb5support.com/resources/api/

Hmmm, it sure does. It was working last time I tried. I'll see if I can get an updated address.

Hello,

I know this feedback is not very timely. However, we're investigating LDAP integration. There are many ways that this work and it can easily be overthought. As such, we're looking on how people want to use LDAP. If anyone sees this and would like to provide feedback, please do so.

What we would like to know is what is the workflow that you're looking for. Does it need to be a true single sign-on or are you just verifying the user exists? Are users going to be imported into vBulletin? Or anything else you can think of.
