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

That is because as you hit the login button the javascript in the page encrypts your password and deletes the unencypted copy (in the field) - Ever noticed that the field goes blank as you hit login? That's why. This is a sort of security feature so no one snooping on the wire can see the plain text password, however a plugin of this sort needs the plain text password to work, so if my plugin see the field empty it just gives up early because there is nothing it can do.

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

Find:

 
} else {
  $newuserid = $newuser->save();

at the very end of the product xml file

Add:

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();

So you are basically re-running the login logic (It's also called earlier in the plugin), and this solves the problem? Cool.

May I include your patch in the next release?
