I'll send ya a PM with the actual file details.

It's Active Directory on Windows Server 2003.

edit: I'll put it up tomorrow -- I'm going to clean up/comment my code additions + its easier to manipulate files at work.
Laptop keyboard -- not for me.

edit: Hold off a little more, can we fix the missing arguments issue? At the end of controller.php when it calls upon function_login.php from VB, it is giving errors about missing arguments. I get these, however, I can still login no problem. Essentially, if I shut off verbose error reporting, I can use this script error free :-).

Warning: Missing argument 4 for verify_authentication(), called in [path]/ldapAuth/controller.php on line 98 and defined in [path]/includes/functions_login.php on line 135

Warning: Missing argument 5 for verify_authentication(), called in [path]/ldapAuth/controller.php on line 98 and defined in [path]/includes/functions_login.php on line 135

look at the file forum_root/includes/functions_login.php. there you can find the function verify_authentication().

i didnt need to pass over some parameters, since thre is no need to verify.

text from my initial post:

I'm eliminating the need for anonymous queries and modifying the script for authenticated binding.

thats nice.i didnt implement this, because some of my customers (when i sold the plugin) had problems with some tachnical aspects. the administrator of the company didnt even know what a DN is. so i never implemented this (in case there are more people that just know: right click, left click, right,...)

Would allowing (or enabling) admincp/modcp logins with this script be difficult? What would I need to do to enable it?

thats easy. but before you do that, you have to give users rights to access the admin /mod cp.

try to remove this after you have set the rights. that should be the solution.

I commented this bit out and gave the proper permissions but that didn't seem to cut it... Could there be something else?

btw thanks for the fast reply, I didn't expect that :)

maybe, that was just a shot into the blue. i will try it in the next days and give you some hint.

Did you get a chance to look at this? I'm no good with vbulletin architechture so I couldn't figure this one out myself.
