Sorry to bother, I actually fixed my issue by editing the line
“elseif ($userID = wp_create_user($userLogin, $password, $userEmail)) {” by adding the users_can_register option verification like this =
“elseif (($userID = wp_create_user($userLogin, $password, $userEmail)) && ( get_option(‘users_can_register’) ) ) {”
Hope this helps other users

I’m not working with WP 2.7, when I try to login it shows me this error message:

Directory Login Error:
wpDirAuth config error: No directory server available for authentication, OR pre-binding credentials denied.

I try to hack the code and add a custom connection string “uid=username,ou=people,dc=domain,dc=com” which has worked but now I have the followed message:

Directory Login Error: Could not authenticate user. Please check your credentials. [user_xpto]

Any hints?

wpDirAuth-Versionen…

wpDirAuth ist ein aeussert praktisches Plugin, um WordPress-Accounts aus LDAP zu beziehen. Leider scheint sich der urspruengliche Entwickler, Stephane Daury, nicht mehr um das Plugin zu kuemmern. Somit verfaellt also seine Projektseite, die WordPress E…

Obviously this is a “look-only” problem, since there is no chance to workaround the directory service security policies through the WordPress password recovery function. I don’t know how to disable a WP function using a plugin, so I suggest you to comment out or remove the lines containing the link “Lost your password” in the file wp-login.php
It’s pretty trivial, and even “error-proof” if you make a program do the job for you. For example, you can type this text in your command line:
% sed ‘/Lost your password/d’ wp-login.php

Hi!

Thank you for the update. It work perfect, but I have a problem, It didn’t disable the “lost password” link on login page. Do you know how to solve it?

Thanks

Hi Sean, thanks for your appreciation. I’ve no access to the repository, neither I plan to request a login, both because my work keeps me too busy and because… well, coding is not my work, actually!
If you or any other DEV guy out there has the ability to do that, I’ll be proud to give this little contribution to the plugin development.
I think that authentication integration with the most used directory services is a key feature of WordPress, and it’s surely the first one whom corporate IT admins would look for, when planning to give a blog to each employee by using its MU version.
These might be the next goals, IMO:

make it a WPMU plugin (today you can use wpDirAuth with it, but you must setup it for each blog in the collection)
make the SSL login page functioning (it’s a MUST for a corporate IT)

Obviously, anyone is free to grab these little lines of code from this site and commit them to the WordPress Plugins SVN repository, and to tell me whatever more I can do to support this plugin’s development!

Hi Andrew,

You guys have done some great work.

Have you or Adam tried to get these (1.3, 1.4) updates put into the SVN under the offical dev site?

http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wpdirauth/

I have a patch to 1.3 to add TLS support, not sure where to put it. (I just found your 1.4 patch today).
