For my environment, it’s more a policy issue than a technical one. The folks in charge of our AD environment have decided that anonymous binds won’t be allowed, period.

Our AD group creates special bind users for situations like this, whose privileges are very limited (probably functionally equivalent to that of an anonymous user). Philosophically, I agree that it’s unwise to keep cleartext passwords around (or stored in an easily-reversible hash), but I’m not sure there’s a functional alternative in this case.

Thanks for responding so quickly!

I’ve checked with the developer that reported this issue to me — apparently, the plugin does correctly disable everything-back for pages and posts, but not for some other post_types (in particular, attachment). I’m not sure whether that’s something in the purview of your plugin, though; I’ll see if I can find a better option for that specific quirk.

The plugin still works just fine. The developer probably hasn’t worked on it because there’s apparently no work to be done.

I’ve emailed the developers a couple of times in the last year, and they still are keeping an eye on things.

Anyone? I’d really like to not have a server crash, if I can avoid it…

Marking as resolved since it was posted to the wrong forum (“general” and not to the plugin-specific one).
