Is it possible to put a wait somewhere in the process so that if it's just a random time delay issue that this could circumvent that? Maybe a 3 second wait with a message saying "One moment, checking your account status."

I've now tried the instructions using 3.7.6 and have the same issue. Doesn't even look like it's trying to access LDAP. I just get an invalid username/password. Not sure about configuring the login.php and where you set the plugin firing order? Any detailed instructions on how to configure this step-by-step would be greatly appreciated as I'm new to vBulletin. Thanks.

Hi,

I have managed to get the plug-in working with v3.7.6. However I am also facing the same issue as n0manarmy whereby a user who logs in to vB for the first time (who doesn't have an account in vB) using this LDAP plug-in will not be successful. Subsequent log-ins will then be OK. Reason is that first timer needs to have his/her account created in vB and this plug-in is used to create that account. Therefore only on 2nd and subsequent log-ins will he/she be successful. Any workaround yet?

Also I found that once this plug-in is installed, the admin cannot log-in directly from the vB mainpage (user page). The admin can only log in from the admin page. Why is that so?

Please help.

Thanks.

I have finally gotten this to work with both 3.7.6 and 3.8.2 using Windows 2003 Active Directory. The problem that I was having was the search base dn and the bind dn were causing issues. One thing to note was the bind dn requires domain\username to function correctly. The search base needed the ou that contains the user accounts in it.

The plugin creates a new user and logs them in succesfully on the first try.

I'm very sorry but due to personal reasons I'm finding I am unable to dedicate the time that a "supported" module deserves. As a result I'm removing the "supported" flag from this plugin.

This doesn't mean I'll stop helping anyone, but I'll feel a bit less bad if it takes me a week to get to it..

Once again sorry, and I hope you'll understand.

H.

Are you still using the global_complete hook for this?

I used this plugin as an example to create a version that works on a SOAP API for our custom account system, but am running into the problem that other described of getting a failed login on first attempt with new account, but being successful upon refreshing the login page. I'd rather not add new hooks to the VB code if it can be avoided.

I use the default global_complete hook, yes. Everything seems to be working fine, except password changes in Active directory aren't transferring to vBulletin... not sure why?

Excellent. Good to know that it's possible without modifying the vb code (login.php or global.php). I'm still completely stuck with the failed login message on new account creation.

Interestingly I was having your problem of password changes not updating from the external source. I added some debug code and found that without

define('DISABLE_PASSWORD_CLEARING', 1);

in config.php, the first test in the plugin was failing

$vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_password'] == '' was true

so the plugin was exiting. I re-added the line to config.php, and password changes work. However, I did notice that, because of the way my plugin is written, the old VB password will continue to work until the new external password is entered. This is because my plugin fails over to internal users if external auth fails.

Unforunately when the new external password for an existing user is set in VB upon login, I still get the failed login error message, even though the new password gets set, and you can log in using the new password by refreshing the page.

There's obviously something missing from my plugin that should be setting some cookies and/or session stuff correctly. Can't figure it out.

Can you list what you did different to get the first tries to work! thanks.

Okay looks like I got lucky.. here's what I did to fix the first time login failure..

edit the product-ldap_auth-1.5.xml either in notepad and reimport or edit the plugin in admin panel->plugin manager

Find:
Code:

} else {
  $newuserid = $newuser->save();
at the very end of the product xml file

Add:
Code:
verify_authentication($vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_username'], $vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_password'], $vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_md5password'], $vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_md5password_utf'], $vbulletin->GPC['cookieuser'], true);
  exec_unstrike_user($vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_username']);
  process_new_login($vbulletin->GPC['logintype'], $vbulletin->GPC['cookieuser'], $vbulletin->GPC['cssprefs']);
  do_login_redirect();
This is basically the std login code for vb. I have just ended up re-logging the user with the login credentials provided earlier.

So here is the quick retrace of steps.
Installation
1. Add the command define('DISABLE_PASSWORD_CLEARING', 1); to your includes/config.php - This will NOT be overwritten by upgrades, so only needs doing once.
2. Upload the file hooks_ldap_auth.xml to includes/xml under your forum.
3a. Edit product-ldap_auth-1.5.xml with the changes as above
3b. Install the modified product file using the Add/Import Product link on the Manage Products page under Plugins & Products in your AdminCP.
4. Edit LDAP Authentication Options and fill in your ldap details
5. Done.
