Hy

I installed the plugin, but i get several errors or strange behaviours:

1) I can't login with an admin account
2) I get always following error at the login with an other user:

the new user is cerated, and after i gi back to the mein site he is logged in, but befor i get this message....

Anyone an idea?

thanks in advance

I'll have to investigate this, I have it working so it sounds like I missed something from the instructions. If I did, sorry, I'll fix it as soon as I find it.

I have made this work with AD, but it requires a little fiddling. At work we have AD replicated into a real LDAP server so that normal access can be used. I'll post some instructions shortly.

Oops, Did I? I'll check, but I don't think I did. If I did, sorry, I'll fix the download shortly.

That sounds like your database access is at fault, but I don't understand why that would be the case if the rest of your site is working. As I stated above, I'm relatively new to VB and don't have all the answers. Perhaps someone here might know how a VB can work but sometimes throw a MySQL login failure?

Certainly though, failing to log into MySQL would prevent anyone logging in... Is the site sending you database error emails?

Hi, does this work with vB 3.8.x and/or 3.7.5?

Thanks

Hi,

I have installed the plugin on a vB 3.7.5 following the above instruction.
I then created a new user usingthe forum registration and that user was not added in LDAP. what did i do wrong?

is it possible to get users added on ldap upon registration from the forum?

Thanks
Antonio

I am not using this plugin, however I developed a different product to help me use a different login source than ldap, and I used this as a base. I noticed that the hook global_complete is called AFTER login logic takes place, this seems to be counter to how the hook is designed. This might be causing some of the issues people are seeing. I modified my plugin to use global_setup_complete instead. Note, using this approach requires a bit more setup logic to be used.

Still testing with 3.8, though it looks promising.

I think you may have the purpose of the plugin backwards. This allows people in your LDAP to login to your VB even if they've never registered. You appear to be trying to get VB users put into your LDAP, which this plugin is not intended to do, sorry ;)

I can see your point, as I've said this is my first mod. I'll go back to the code and see what refactoring would be needed to switch. However I am using this mod at work and it's working well (Or seems to be). I have many users who have all signed in without using the signup logic (Which I've disabled) and then have returned, re-logging in etc...

I'll have to revisit the code.

You are quite right. I'll try to get a revised version up ASAP. It shouldn't prevent anything else working, unless you've written your own plugins triggered from my hooks, in which case they will get called at the wrong times.

Sorry.

Haqa,

I've been trying to get the plugin running with vb 3.8.1. I noticed that the gobal_complete hook isn't called on a login. I'm just learning the hooks but do I need to change that the plugin to fire on global_setup_complete?

Thanks,
Anthony

I've just upgraded my dev system to 3.8.1 so it shouldn't be long before I've got a version which does support 3.8.x

I just got the plug-in working w/ 3.8.1. I had to add my own hook in login.php so I'm interested to see what you come up with so that no vb code is altered.

Also, I had a problem with DISABLE_PASSWORD_CLEARING. I traced it back to line 598 of global.php. I had to switched the 1 and 0 on that line so $show['nopasswordempty'] would get the right value.
