Miscellaneous Hacks - Full Name Support for LDAP Auth

If you use this, please click Installed!

This mod is an extension to my LDAP Authentication mod which must be installed before you can use this. It adds support for the LDAP "surname" and "firstname" attiributes by creating a new profile field and then setting its value to the values found in LDAP.

In addition this mod attempts to replace the users id on various pages with their fullname. This support is incomplete but improving as time goes on.

One of the interesting things this mod does is create a profile field within the install code, and set a vBulletin setting which doesn't exist yet (No, honestly! vBulletin settings for products come into existence AFTER the install scripts have run, but you can set their initial values from the install script if you wish).

This mod, and it's sister mod Location Support for LDAP Auth are fully functional but are also meant to demonstrate different ways in which my LDAP Authentication mod can be extended.

AdminCP Settings

This mod creates a new options group called LDAP Authentication Full Name Support where you can choose when the Fullname attribute should be set. The settings are either First Login Only or Every Login. There is also a reference to the profile field number in which the full name is stored - Really SERIOUSLY don't change this!

Requirements

• PHP 4.3+ with LDAP support
• LDAP Authentication 1.0+

Release Notes

Haqa...
