Well, what happens is that I can not log into the Admin CP with my LDAP ID.

My theory here is that there is a different log-in process for the Admin CP and it is trying to verify my password against the vBulletin database.

Familiar with this problem? Am I just missing something?[/S]

Nevermind! Missed the comment in the description that says LDAP is not used for the admin or moderation control panels. That's not going to work for me. I need it to check the LDAP directory and the database in all cases. I will settle for just checking LDAP, but would rather it check both.

Sounds like I need to do some digging.

just comment out the following code:

PHP Code:

// if login form is admin or moderator login, dont use ldap authentication
if(($vbulletin->GPC['logintype'] == "cplogin") || ($vbulletin->GPC['logintype'] == "modcplogin"))
{
        return;
}
