The passwords are stored as an MD5 hash in LDAP, and I also made sure define('DISABLE_PASSWORD_CLEARING', 1); was in includes/config.php. The stange thing is, if I disable the plugin both exisiting and newly created users (from LDAP) can successfully login.

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

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.

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

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?
