Ahhhh man – I spoke too soon.

While it DOES work, it only works when the user has already been created within WordPress. So, the user would still have to visit wp-admin, and login with their AD credentials once, in order for the account to be created within WordPress, and then once the account was created, the desired behavior (of always automatically logging you into WordPress) is achieved.

I finally got around to trying this and it totally worked.

Using the modified code without the depreciated function, and fiddling with my IIS7 authentication setting solved the problem.

I did not notice the 2 refreshes – it seems to work perfectly when I first load the page. I tested it as a few different users.

Also, I don’t want users to be able to log out, so as long as there’s no hiccups, it’s perfect.

Thank you!

That’s perfect. Thank you! I really appreciate it. We just have a lot of people who will be subscribers only, for commenting purposes, and many are (beyond) non-technical so I was trying to avoid an influx of confusion and questions. The blog is integrated with Active Directory on our intranet, and every time a user on the network logs in, it immediately takes them to their profile page with that pop-up. Much better this way!

Thanks again!

Hi Drew,

Thank you for your reply. I did click the Dismiss button for myself, but each new user that logs in or registers has it pop up as well. I know it is as simple as dismissing it once, and I don’t care for Administrators or anyone that will be adding images to the rotation, but Subscribers login and it pops up and confuses them. It’s a very large organization where several hundred people will be logging in and was hoping to avoid some of the confusion.

If not, no worries. I was just wondering if there was a way to permanently dismiss it.
