WPMU-LDAP Plugin, v.1.2.0
Another release of the WPMU-LDAP plugin - v.1.2.0 (get it as a zip or a tarball or from the project’s SourceForge page).
You can, of course, check the release notes and change log, but as a quick run-down this is a feature release for the project to address issues relating to password management. Previously, all traditional WordPress password management was disabled, so that WPMU is not forced to cache LDAP passwords at all. Now, Site Admins (whose passwords still are managed by WPMU) have those traditional abilities, even when the LDAP plugin is enabled.
Generally, your Site Admins shouldn’t have to deal with it much, but it’s always nice to not have to hack into the database in order to change a password. :)
Hmm… I think that was more verbose than either the release notes or the change log. Heh.
Go ahead and submit tickets to the SF.net tracker if you find bugs, have feature requests or the like. The target audience is developers and site admins, so I think you people know the drill. ;)
Enjoy,

Just wondering if there would be a way to use this plugin to write an LDAP plugin for regular Wordpress?

@Cossovich:
Amusing you should mention that… the WPMU LDAP plugin is actually derived from a plugin for the original vanilla-WordPress. The original authors have been credited for their work in the documentation with the plugin.
Specifically, Alistair Young - Original LDAP Plug-in

Don’t know if anyone else has picked up the WP version and ran with it, though.
