Simple LDAP Login 1.3 Beta Released

Version 1.3

Simple LDAP Login 1.3 Beta has been posted.  The new version supports integrated user creation based on LDAP authentication, group membership, or the original mode. Additionally, I have implemented Olivier Fontes’ MXC LDAP plugin into my plugin. In theory, this should add support for OpenLDAP. It is important to note, however, that I have NOT been able to test any OpenLDAP scenarios. The code logic makes sense to me, but I am 100% confident there will be issues that come up. I’m counting on you guys to help me out in testing this.

The new version seems to work flawlessly in Active Directory. I will be posting a complete description of how the new plugin works philosophically soon. Until now, I believe it should be fairly self-explanatory. 

The new version is available under the versions link on the right. I have not made it the primary release because it is in beta at this point and many features have not been tested adequately.

WordPress Plugin Updates

I spent some time updating all of my WordPress plugins today.  A few months ago commenter Bramus noted that Simple LDAP Login allowed all WordPress users, regardless of rights, to access the administrative page.  I took an appalling amount of time to get around to updating this, but I went ahead and updated it in all of my plugins. (Those with admin pages)

I also fixed a couple of other minor issues that hardly merit mention. 

If you are using these plugins, I suggest you go ahead and update.
