Dude, it works but I did find a minor “bug”… Spaces!!!

So if I put
americas.company.local; emea.company.local

it FAILS so you have to put:
americas.company.local;emea.company.local

So really minor but you should be able to “fix” to handle SPACES because most people would input it that way. ??

I believe I found TWO NEW enhancement requests, since your AD Plugin is RULING… ??

So has version 1.0.1 been released or will it still be part of 1.1?

??

Hahaha, sorry for repeating then… ??

I just wanted to be sure all your fans understood…

So to recap:

John can belong to DOMAIN
emea.company.com
OR asiapacific.company.com

His email is: [email protected]

So any user can belong to any number of OUs but a unique email is shared worldwide.

So in the form you have:
Account Suffix [__________]
Account Suffix (will be appended to all usernames in the Active Directory authentication process; e.g., “@domain.tld”.)

So if John is part of @emea.company.com
and you put here @emea.company.com

then it will work

but what if you put here @emea.company.com
and John belongs to @asiapacific.company.com

Then it does NOT work
and if you put @company.com then it still does NOT work.

THE IDEAL would be to code the plugin to check MULTIPLE OU’s because you do not know which OU your user will belong to, so you would put something like:

@emea.company.com | @asiapacific.company.com

This will try to log in with different OUs appended to the Username, because currently it only allows you to enter ONE. So this is the problem, since THIS is where it tries to do the validation to see if you exist in AD. Should be an easy fix to add logic to check multiple OUs and then your plugin will RULE all the others, since this one works for me in WordPress 3.1…

You would think that but every username is UNIQUE so it does not matter what OU they belong to, so your example:

[email protected]
and
[email protected]

would NEVER exist because our emails are [email protected] for example, but john can belong to either emea or asiapacific and NEVER both, since the email address has to be UNIQUE.

So that is why I asked if the plugin can be updated to check multiple OU’s based on username because it will ALWAYS be unique. Thanks for replying though… ??

I will throw up a request because the plugin is awesome and worked unlike problems I had with the other 3 I tried, but I won’t name them here…
