Call for Issues

Aaron Axelsen — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 03:07:06 +0000

I plan to put some time into working on some of the outstanding issues over the next week or two. However, I have received issues via just about every method of communication out there. To make sure nothing is getting missed, if you are aware of an active issue that is NOT posted here – please either post it on the SourceForge tracker or reply back with a comment.

WPMU Ldap 3.1.1 Released

Aaron Axelsen — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 02:33:20 +0000

I have fixed a few of the minor bugs that have popped up. See the changelog for details. I have also correctly bumped the revision number in the scripts (sorry about that).

As a reminder, the plugin should be installed in the “mu-plugins” folder. This folder does not exist by default in 3.x – but you can create it (wp-content/mu-plugins). See the documentation for more info.

The plugin can be download from the Sourceforge project page. As always, I hope you enjoy it and please report any problems or suggestions you might have!

WPMU Ldap 3.1 Released

Aaron Axelsen — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 05:45:22 +0000

With the release of wordpress 3.1, some of the core functions the plugins used had to be modified. Because of this, the 3.1 release of the plugin is *only* available with WordPress 3.1 and newer. If you are still using WordPress 3.0.x, this plugin is not for you.

The main change in this release is the ability for pages to show on the network admin page, instead of the site admin page.

The plugin can be download from the Sourceforge project page. As always, I hope you enjoy it and please report any problems or suggestions you might have!

WordPress 3.1 Compatibility

Just a quick update, I have been testing the plugin with 3.1 and will have a release out very soon. Watch the blog for updates!

WPMU Ldap 3.0 Released!

Aaron Axelsen — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:46:30 +0000

After much work and preparation, the 3.0 plugin is ready to go. Most of the kinks should be worked out of it, but if you notice anything please let me know! Just like the previous versions, the plugin must be installed in the “mu-plugins” folder. The only difference with WP 3.0, is that the folder does not exist by default. You will need to create the “mu-plugins” folder under “wp-content”. Drop the files in there and you should be good to go!

The plugin also now supports basic group authentication for both allow and deny groups. Thanks to the help of Ken Newquist, we were able to test this extensively across both Active Directory and OpenLDAP platforms. Example configurations are available on the Documentation page.

Other fixes and changes included in this release:

Basic deny/allow group logic
Changed bulk add logic to not automatically create blogs if the option is enabled – wordpress does not support this functionality
Fixed issues with connection check not working when plugin is not enabled
Fixed typo in default ldaps port in the documentation
Fixed issue where local users would still attempt to authenticate against ldap
Added better error checking on failure when adding users from the add user menu

The plugin can be download from the Sourceforge project page. As always, I hope you enjoy it and please report any problems or suggestions you might have!

New Blog Address

Aaron Axelsen — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:25:27 +0000

In an effort to simplify my own setup, the blog address has been changed to http://wpmuldap.tuxdocs.net. The old address will redirect traffic so any existing links out there should be fine.

Group Support Available in SVN Trunk (WordPress 3.0 Only)

Aaron Axelsen — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 15:11:29 +0000

For those of you testing on the 3.0 trunk, I have added basic allow and deny group support for overall blog access. There is logic in there to handle nested groups as well. However, I only have the ability to test this against an Active Directory server – so if any of you are connecting to openldap, opendirectory or something else and are willing to test, let me know how it works (or how it doesn’t)!

The road to 3.0

Aaron Axelsen — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 03:20:52 +0000

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the svn trunk will be in a very alpha state as I beginning testing and tweaking for the 3.0 WP release. Anyone else who is testing – feel free to post back anything weird you may be noticing. As of right now, things seem to function in a basic form.

WPMU Ldap 2.9 Released

Aaron Axelsen — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:24:07 +0000

The latest version of the WPMU Ldap plugin is now available for download. This is a minor bugfix release – see the changlog for full details. Even though the plugin version is 2.9 – it should continue to work with the 2.8 series of WPMU.

The plugin can be download from the Sourceforge project page. As always, I hope you enjoy it and please report any problems or suggestions you might have!

WPMU Ldap 2.8.4 Released

Aaron Axelsen — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:07:49 +0000

The latest version of the WPMU Ldap plugin is now available for download. This is a minor bugfix release, and also includes revamped back end code to use the new authenticate hook instead of the old method of overwriting the wp_authenticate function. It should also correct some of the odd issues that surfaced from 2.8.2.

This release will completely break any remote chance of compatibility with version older than 2.8. If you are still running an older version, this is a great reason to upgrade!

The plugin can be download from the Sourceforge project page. As always, I hope you enjoy it and please report any problems or suggestions you might have!
