I don't think this works in v3.8... getting an error when trying it: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function ldap_connect() in vbulletin\global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 25"

Have you been able to implement single sign on for vBulletin or do you know if this
problem has been solved.
Looks like a plugin exists for AD authentication but I think the user still has to login.

Thanks

Best example I can give is of my work..... we use LDAP to authenticate users accross different services we offer on campus - logging into computers, access programs, databases, and web sites. On the web for example our CMS, Blackboard, Campus Pipeline, Intranet and now VBulletin all authenticate against LDAP. This allows us to give out 1 username and password to every staff and student to access any service we offer; we can restrict access via LDAP as well.

There's a bit more to it than that. You've got to have someone to populate LDAP, or some program to automatically insert / update records i.e. our finance department enter a new staff member onto the pay roll system, and in an overnight job LDAP is synchronised with it, creating new usernames if neccessary or expire accounts if someone has left.

Its our "yellow pages" of staff and students. Benefit to us is 1 username and password to access all our services. Less maintenance. Also in time it will allow us to roll out "single sign on". Sign into a computer on the network, and then you are automatically logged into our web sites or Vbulletin when you go to that site. No need for cookies.

You may have heard of Active Directory which is similar.

Does that make sense? :s :)[/QUOTE]
