} 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();

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.

This quick fix resolved the issue related to the error around first login for the user.
