I have a ton of local, non-admin users. I want to migrate to LDAP auth, and wanted to know if there was anyway to have it check for a local account before checking the ldap? I can get the ldap to work if there isn't a local account of the same name, but not able to get the non-admin accounts to login if their username exists in ldap. Thoughts? I have a question.

The notable one being the removal of the pluggable.php file. That's what I <em>meant</em>, but really not what I wrote. At least not clearly. :) Anyway, the plugin has a new release, and it has a package specifically for WPMU 1.3. This should help. -sean You know, after re-reading this post, I realize how incredibly vague I was.

I've installed the current version of the wpmu-ldap plugin and it seems like the LDAP login is never getting called even though I have enabled it under LDAP Options in the admin interface. The thing that's really bugging me is that I can't seem to get any error messages at all so I can't debug my LDAP settings to see if they're the problem. Any ideas? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1826469&group_id=196841&atid=959075 Did you have to change anything at all for a clean WPMU 1.3 install?

On vacation. :) You are correct, though. Currently, it does not support secure ldap connections. I agree wholeheartedly that this is something that should be implemented.

I checked the sourceforge site and didn't see anything mentioned about it for development. Are there any plans? I can't code it at the moment, but if I get someone else to, do you accept patches?
