LDAP Authentication

A hack for a LDAP enabled WordPress 1.5. More and more large organizations with external authentication are using WordPress internally.

  1. Wow, all of this new auth functionality will be really nice! 1.5 is already rock solid on its own, but with hooks into Apache’s authentication capabilities, a lot more doors will open.

  2. Sweet 😀
    Matt: Big business + MySQL? Good luck 🙁
    WE NEED ADOdb SUPPORT! One of my collegues ported WP1.2 to Oracle, but that can’t happen for every upgrade… I’ve gotten aproval for WP for both interal and external uses at work and this LDAP mod is fantastic, except there’s no chance of MySQL support :\

    Open up WordPress — let go of the single DB format!

  3. Matt, I made a minor change to the authentication patch this morning. The check_passwords action now includes the username in its arguments.
