Have you tested that? Unfortunately, I can't walk you through that. You should search online to see how to verify and install LDAP for PHP for your Operating System. One test of whether you were able to successfully install and configure the LDAP module for PHP would be the plugin administrative page itself. After you install the plugin, does it give any errors on the admin page (such as the screen shot in the post). If it is, then your PHP-LDAP connection is just not working, so you need to figure out how to get it going. Cheers. hi Sudheer,

Regarding your Account Filter setting, this is basically where you specify the field on your LDAP element against which you are trying to authenticate the login name. Different configurations of LDAP might require you to use different values here. If yours works with samAccountName, then good. Don't worry about it anymore. The suffix again may or may not be required. It is usually the domain name for your LDAP setup. Thanks Scott for pointing to the 1.4 patch.

It did solve quite a few issues. I am now able to get my students and staff to log in. I used WordpressMU 2.8 and the 1.3 patch didn't work. I searched and found a 1.4 patch here: http://weblogs.valsania.it/andreav/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/wpdirauth14.zip Hope this helps. I am in a vanilla windows envoronment and have not had to use LDAP before. Next on my hitlist: Moodle. I still do not usderstand a few of the settings on the WPDIRAUTH config page if anyone can help: Account Filter: samAccountName Using this setting it works but I have no idea what it is for or what I could use it for either. Accoutn Suffix: what is this for? Regards Scott Johnson Thanks for this.

I had all but given up on this. Turns out I didn't have the ldap module enabled in apache, and I had never seen that list of most common attributes used. Turns out, our Novell LDAP was using "name" as the filter. Thanks again. Thanks a million for this. I had all but given up on this.
